Fight To Keep

(album: Run River North - 2014)

I left my heart on the top of a windowsill
Fell apart when the winds pulled it down
On the ground where the sun drove the colors deep
In the summer heat the colors seemed to drown
In the summer heat the colors seemed to drown

But you pulled up the colors with a simple tune
You breathed a song, oh, dusted off the sand
You put the pieces on your sleeve, oh, you gave my heart to me
It looked so pretty that I fell upon my knees
It looked so pretty that I fell upon my knees

And from the ground I saw your face
You spoke of love, oh, you sang of grace
But come the night when the light is gone
It's in the dark that my deeds are done

What I've done in darkness, I must turn away
This mended heart is meant for so much more
Though the wind is telling me that it's ok
I'll stand my ground till I hear the kingdom come
I'll stand my ground till I hear the kingdom come

So, I will fight to keep the fire burning in the night
I found words to keep me still
Though I'm prone to go and make the same mistakes
I hear your voice calling out my name

And from the ground I saw your face
You spoke of love, oh, you sang of grace
But come the night when the light is gone
It's in the dark that my deeds are done

And from the ground I saw your face
You spoke of love, oh, you sang of grace
But come the night when the light is gone
It's in the dark that my deeds are done

So, I will fight to keep the fire burning in the night
(Fight to keep the fire burning)
Fight to keep the fire burning in the night
(Fight to keep the fire burning)
Fight to keep the fire burning in the night
(Fight to keep the fire burning)
Yes, I will fight to keep the fire burning in the night
(Fight to keep the fire burning)

Oh, fight to keep the fire burning
Fight to keep the fire burning
Fight to keep the fire burning in the night
(Fight to keep the fire burning)
Fight to keep the fire burning
Fight to keep the fire burning
Fight to keep the fire burning in the night

Fight to keep the fire burning
(Fight to keep the fire burning)
Fight to keep the fire burning
(Fight to keep the fire burning)
Fight to keep the fire burning
(Fight to keep the fire burning)
Fight to keep the fire burning
