I've sacrificed too much I am not afraid This is the life I chose, the path I take I have seen the worst of the world come and go before me And I refuse to just lay and let it overcome me So I will rise to take a stand for this and the life that I lead 'Cause I will be the light that Always shines, I keep the fire burning on Shine light, and inspire So live it up, and learn to live the way you love For I have seen the worst of the world come and go before me And I refuse to just lay and let it overcome me So I will rise to take a stand for this and the life that I lead 'Cause I will be the light that always shines, I keep the fire burning In a world where it's eye for an eye, I will take what should be mine A decision's been made, I stand before you with a new conviction Let my voice be heard, all across this earth This earth YEAH I have seen the worst of the world come and go Before me, and I refuse to just lay and let it overcome me So I will rise to take a stand for this and the life that I lead 'Cause I will be the light that always shines, I keep the fire burning I keep the fire burnin' all through the night our hearts are stirrin' I keep the fire burnin' 'cause I am lost and I am broken I keep the fire burnin' when all seems dark it keeps me standin' I keep the fire burnin' to claim the life that I deserve
