The Fire Inside
When all is lost, and hope has fled
When fear is fervent, strength is dead
When love and joy abandon you
When mental anguish grows in you
When the last efforts fail to save
When your fate is ill, your mind is enslaved
And when your head hangs low in misery
This is when you’ll find the key
A single ember from deep within
Burns hotter and hotter as flames begin
The fire of truth will light the way
And help you fight this lonely day
The battle is long, and the struggle is rough
Never regret not giving enough
When we offer our very best
Our very soul is put to the test
Stand tall and accurate, and you’ll prevail
Just hold on tight and never bail
You will survive if you don’t quit
Victory is there if you reach for it
One day in the future, you will look to the past,
And now you have what it takes to last
So never give up, and good things will come,
Not just honor and pride, but a job well done
