[Verse 1:]

I must believe that what's a memory now
Was the only way
To know that all of those you love
Were just stripped away
And now if I'm the one to lead us
To a brand new day
At peace I must be with the brutal truth,
To truly lead the way

[Chorus:]

Please, God give me
The strength to lead (It's my Charge to Keep)
Bring the sorrow
The fuel I need (It's my Charge to Keep)
Please, God give me
The strength to lead (It's my Charge to Keep)
Bring the sorrow
The fuel I need (It's my Charge to Keep)

[Verse 2:]

Now we must wipe the tears away,
Gather up our inner strength
The loss of those we can't replace,
Will bring about their fate
And though many lifetimes it will take,
To bring justice on the way
We must never falter,
We must never fail,
This is our Charge To Keep...

(Chorus)

Please, God give me
The strength to lead (It's my Charge to Keep)
Bring the sorrow
The fuel I need (It's my Charge to Keep)
Please, God give me
The strength to lead (It's my Charge to Keep)
Bring the sorrow
The fuel I need (It's my Charge to Keep)

[Solo]

(Chorus)

Please, God give me
The strength to lead (It's my Charge to Keep)
Bring the sorrow
The fuel I need (It's my Charge to Keep)
Please, God give me
The strength to lead (It's my Charge to Keep)
Bring the sorrow
The fuel I need

It's my Charge to Keep
