Hold the Flame (Fox's Song)
(c) 2000 by Fox Lee (http://foxlee.arts-eclectic.com)

Verse 1
I don't recall ever asking for a hero,
I never wanted a saviour by my side,
So don't try to rescue me, sometimes a person has to bleed,
Before they find the strength they need to shine,
And this is mine...

Chorus 1
Can you hold the flame, can you face the rain?
Can you wait 'til morning, and still feel the same?
Can you live your life, can you count the days,
'Til I get there... can you hold the flame?

Verse 2
It's always easy to lean on somebody,
But I just want to walk on my own,
So if I told you to stay away, do you think you'd have the strength to wait,
Stand back and let me bear this weight alone?
It's all I own...

Repeat Chorus

Verse 3
I know that you have a road you can follow,
But I'm still looking for the way for me,
And if you wanna hold my hand, guess that I could handle that,
But being happy is not all that it seems,
Or being free...

Repeat Chorus (end leads into chorus 2)

Chorus 2
Can you hold the flame, can you face the rain?
Can you wait 'til morning, and still feel the same?
Can you live your life, can you count the days,
'Til I finally find that I'm able to say,
I'm sorry that I hurt you, and I loved you all the way?
Can you hold the flame?
Can you hold the flame?
