Carry on the Flame

Yeah I know it gets hard
But that doesn't mean that you should just quit
You gotta push through it
Don't stop

I feel the pressure inside, as I'm feeling it rise
Wanna do right by my pops and see the pride in his eyes
Now I got the fire in mine, it's like a tigers entwined
With the desperation, I've been patient running in place just waiting
For a break...
No dammit, nah, not a vacation but a step up from here
A-a little elevation, like a ladder from god
If I believed in one anyway...
Whats it matter at all? We all rise and then fall
We got but only one truth, one single purpose in life
And that's to live everyday
And that's to fight the good fight
And that's to push on no matter how hard or painful the strain
And that's to dig deep down so we can live for today
Yeah man we owe that to them, the ones that fell before us
The ones we loved that have left and I hope are high above us
Just watching down with a smile all just cheering us on
To see if we make it cause they won't be watching for long

Caught up in this
Twisting, turning
Pushing through this maze
So you fight
And you scream
As you bleed
For your dream
It was born in to you
And then passed on to me
Yeah there's a fire burning
And I will carry on the flame

So now I sit here and think am I doing enough?
Should I even have the time to sit down and work on this song
Feel like I'm wasting away while I push into the grain
Man I must be insane to keep doing this everyday
Expecting a new result and new outcome to break
The monotonous repetition of hustling everyday
But I stay convicted, convinced that I'm doing it right
That I have something thats worthy of shining in to the light
So tonight I'm gonna keep writing, gonna keep fighting
Gonna spit this shit to tape until you can hear the lightning
When you close your eyes you'll be able to see the thunder
Gonna make the clouds crash to earth and make it rain upward
Gonna tear the very fabric in which we weave our fate
Cause I came in to the world upside down
And I'ma leave it that way
Yeah I'ma leave it that way

Caught up in this
Twisting, turning
Pushing through this maze
So you fight
And you scream
As you bleed
For your dream
It was born in to you
And then passed on to me
Yeah there's a fire burning
And I will carry on the flame

And I will carry on the flame

So you fight
(So you fight)
And you scream
(And you scream)
As you bleed
(As you bleed)
For your dream
(For your dream)

So you fight
(So you fight)
And you scream
(And you scream)
As you bleed
(As you bleed)
For your dream
(For your dream)

Caught up in this
Twisting, turning
(The twisting and the turning)
Pushing through this maze
(I'm pushing through, I'm pushing through, I'm pushing through)
So you fight
And you scream
As you bleed
For your dream
It was born in to you
And then passed on to me
Yeah there's a fire burning
And I will carry on the flame

And I will carry on the flame
Oh yeah

(Ooooh)
No I won't let it die
(Ooooh)
No I won't let it die
(Ooooh)
No I won't let it die
(Ooooh)
