I'm walking in their footsteps

I'm singing their old songs

Somebody blazed this trail

I'm treadin' on

I'm bent, but I'm not broken

I'm stronger than I feel

I'm made of flesh and bone

Not made of steel



I'm the keeper of the flame

The teller of the story

Keeper of the flame

For the ones that came before me

For the little pilot lights waiting to ignite

Like fireflies in the rain

Keeper of the flame



I've been burned out to ashes

Waiting for a wind

To carry me and start a fire again

Sometimes I'm just a flicker

A candle in your eye

But I swear to God

I'll never let it die



I'm the keeper of the flame

The teller of the story

Keeper of the flame

For the ones that came before me

For the little pilot lights waiting to ignite

Like fireflies in the rain

Keeper of the flame



When I'm drowning

When I'm fighting

When I'm screaming

When I'm hiding

When I'm losing

When I'm winning

I go back to

The beginning



Keeper of the flame

The teller of the story

Keeper of the flame

I'm not doing it for the glory

But for those little pilot lights waiting to ignite

Like fireflies in the rain

Keeper of the flame

I'm the keeper of the flame

Ooooh, oooh

I'm the keeper of the flame

Ooooh, oooh
