With courage born from despair
we carry on
we turn the other cheek down on our knees
the whole game is a con
And we're too much part of the plan
to step out
just numbers and citizens
just faces in crowds, yeah
but we got one thing in common
that tremendous will to survive
and true appreciation for life
We gotta carry the fire
We gotta carry the fire
We gotta carry the fire
and we scream for freedom
but it sounds like we're speaking in tongues
such an ungodly mess, the critical mass
needs more sing-alongs
Around here everyone's busy
just feathering their nest
we all got our reasons
we all got our interests
but we got one thing in common
that tremendous will to survive
and true appreciation for life
We gotta carry the fire
We gotta carry the fire
We gotta carry the fire
but we got one thing in common
that tremendous will to survive
and true appreciation for life
We gotta carry the fire
We gotta carry the fire
We gotta carry the fire
