A Charge to Keep

[Verse 1:] 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 To a brand new day At peace I must be with the brutal truth, To truly lead the way [Chorus:] Please, God give me The strength to lead (It's my Charge to Keep) Bring 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) Bring the sorrow The fuel I need (It's my Charge to Keep) [Verse 2:] 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 the way We must never falter, We must never fail, This is our Charge To Keep... (Chorus) Please, God give me The strength to lead (It's my Charge to Keep) Bring 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) Bring the sorrow The fuel I need (It's my Charge to Keep) [Solo] (Chorus) Please, God give me The strength to lead (It's my Charge to Keep) Bring 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) Bring the sorrow The fuel I need It's my Charge to Keep
