I have a fire in my soul, raging like the lightning bright The years of hiding took their toll but never did they dim the light I have a river rushing through my veins like a roaring wind And at the end of doubt I do find my strength to begin Though the days ahead are dark and uncertainty clouds my way I have hope singing like a lark and I can fight another day I have many fears and many tears not unlike my early years But through all those I persevered so I could end up right here I have a fire in my soul, raging like the lightning bright Though I quake with fear untold I will make it through this night
