[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
