Lyric

To Keep the Fire Alive

Gky

So many things I want to do

But somehow I keep standing still

Another day goes slipping by

While all I leave are worn-out shoes

I thought the wind was on my side

But suddenly the sky turned gray

The map I trusted all this time

Has faded in the pouring rain

Maybe the world just isn’t ready yet

Maybe my friends were only shadows then

Or maybe I’m not strong enough today

Nobody else can tell me anyway

But the fire still burns inside of me

Deep in my heart where nobody can see

I’m not counting reasons why I failed

I’m learning what I have to overcome

Step by step

One by one

I’ll keep moving forward till it’s done

If every scar can make me stronger now

Then none of this was ever wasted time

Wasted time

The dreams they laughed at long ago

The lonely nights I tried to hide

Now I can finally understand

What all those moments left behind

I spent my life looking for shortcuts

Trying to run before I learned to stand

But every detour that I cursed

Was drawing lines across the map

If the times are wrong, I’ll wait my turn

If I need allies, I’ll find them on the road

If I’m too weak, I’ll grow stronger still

This isn’t over, this is where it starts

So the fire still burns inside of me

No matter how many times I fall

The reasons that once held me back

Have become the signs that show the way

Step by step

One by one

I’ll keep moving forward till it’s done

Dreams don’t run away from anyone

Only hearts that choose to let them go

The fire still burns

The song isn’t over

Even when the world turns its back on me

Even when everyone walks away

Even on the nights I doubt myself

Look ahead

Stand your ground

Rise again

There’s a view beyond the mountain

You’ll never see if you stop now

Step by step

One by one

We’ll make it through

If there’s something you still long to do

That’s enough

To keep the fire alive

Move on

Move on

Move on…
