[Verse 1]
Dm                    
  I will hold your hand love
F                 
  As long as I can love
C                           Bb
  Though the powers rise against us
Dm                       
  Though your fears assail you
F                       
  And your body may fail you
C                             Bb
  There's a fire that burns within us


[Pre-Chorus]
F                   
  And we dream in the night
Bb
  Of a city descending
C                
  With the sun in center
Bb                     
  And a peace unending


[Chorus]
Dm                      
  I will I will carry the fire
F                             
  I will I will carry the fire
Bb                         C
  I'll carry the fire for you
Dm                      
  I will I will carry the fire
F                             
  I will I will carry the fire
Bb                         C
  I'll carry the fire for you
 
 
[Verse 2]
Dm                  
  And we kneel in the water
F                  
  The sons and the daughters
C                          Bb
  And we hold our hearts before us
Dm                   
  And we look to the distance
F                
  And raise our resistance
C                    
  In the face of the forces
Bb
  Gathered against us


[Pre-Chorus]
F                   
  And we dream in the night
Bb
  Of a king and a kingdom
C                          F
  Where joy writes the songs
            Bb                           
  And the innocents sing them


[Chorus]
Dm                      
  I will I will carry the fire
F                             
  I will I will carry the fire
Bb                         C
  I'll carry the fire for you
Dm                      
  I will I will carry the fire
F                             
  I will I will carry the fire
Bb                         C
  I'll carry the fire for you

When your hope is gone sing on


[Pre-Chorus]
F                    
  And we dream in the night
Bb
  Of a feast and a wedding
C                          F
  And the groom in his glory
          Bb                            
When the bride is made ready


[Chorus]
Dm                      
  I will I will carry the fire
F                             
  I will I will carry the fire
Bb                         C
  I'll carry the fire for you
Dm                      
  I will I will carry the fire
F                             
  I will I will carry the fire
Bb                         C
  I'll carry the fire for you
