A Charge To Keep

I must believe that what's a memory now
Was the only way to know
That all of those you love
Were just stripped away
And now if I'm the one to lead us
Into a brand new day
At peace I must be with the brutal truth
To truly lead the way

Please God give me
The strength to lead
(It's my charge to keep)
Make the sorrow
The fuel I need
(It's my charge to keep)
Please God give me
The strength to lead
(It's my charge to keep)
Make the sorrow
The fuel I need
(It's my charge to keep)

And now we must wipe the tears away
Gather up our inner strength
The loss of those we can't replace
Will bring about their fate
And though many lifetimes it will take
To bring justice on our way
We must never falter we must never fail
This is a charge to keep

Please God give me
The strength to live
(It's my charge to keep)
Make the sorrow
The fuel I need
(It's my charge to keep)
Please God give me
The strength to lead
(It's my charge to keep)
Make the sorrow
The fuel I need
(It's my charge to keep)

Please God give me
The strength to live
(It's my charge to keep)
Make the sorrow
The fuel I need
(It's my charge to keep)
Please God give me
The strength to lead
(It's my charge to keep)
Make the sorrow
The fuel I need
(It's my charge to keep)
