Into the Fire
--Bruce Springsteen--

The sky was falling and streaked with blood
I heard you calling me, then you disappeared into the dust
Up the stairs, into the fire
Up the stairs, into the fire
I need your kiss, but love and duty called you someplace higher
Somewhere up the stairs, into the fire


May your strength give us strength
May you faith give us faith
May your hope give us hope
May your love give us love


May your strength give us strength
May you faith give us faith
May your hope give us hope
May your love give us love


You gave your love to see, in fields of red and autumn brown
You gave your love to me and lay your young body down
Up the stairs, into the fire
Up the stairs, into the fire
I need you near, but love and duty called you someplace higher
Someplace up the stairs, into the fire


May your strength give us strength
May your faith give us faith
May your hope give us hope
May your love give us hope


May your strength give us strength
May you faith give us faith
May your hope give us hope
May your love give us love


May your strength give us strength
May you faith give us faith
May your hope give us hope
May your love give us love


It was dark, too dark to see
You held me in the light you gave
You lay your hand on me
Then walked into the darkness of your smoky grave
Up the stairs, into the fire
Up the stairs, into the fire
I need your kiss, but love and duty called you someplace higher
Somewhere up the stairs, into the fire


May your strength give us strength
May your faith give us faith
May your hope give us hope
May your love bring us love...

May your love bring us love...

Peace...
