Strength of spirit

Strength of spirit

In the quiet, in the cold, something wakes
A spark inside my chest

Feet on old stone,
Hands calloused, scarred,
My voice trembles
But I still speak.
Wind cuts sharp,
Memories burn,
The weight of years
Won't break me down.

This fire burns in all of us,
It never dies, even when we're falling,
This fire burns in all of us,
I feel it catch, each time we're calling,
This fire burns in all of us,
From every loss, we rise to trust,
This fire burns in all of us,
And in that heat, we find our cause.

Sweat stains the flag,
Salt on my skin,
Stories passed down
Run deep within.
I watch the hills,
Listen for drums,
Long shadows cross
But we still run.

This fire burns in all of us,
It never dies, even when we're falling,
This fire burns in all of us,
It's not just mine, I hear you calling,
This fire burns in all of us,
From every silence, we start to trust,
This fire burns in all of us,
And in that heat, we find our cause.

Sometimes it's only embers,
Barely lighting the night,
But gather close, look in my eyes,
We keep it burning bright.

This fire burns in all of us,
This fire burns in all of us,
This fire burns in all of us,
This fire burns in all of us.

This fire burns in all of us.
