I Am A Symbol

(album: Cold Hard Want - 2012)

I am a symbol, I am a flame,
I object to the objective,
I won't play the game
I am a symbol, I am a flame,
I'm resolved in my resistance,
A witness to your wrongs,
I am a symbol,
I am a flame

One voice in the crowd is small,
But if he speaks the truth,
The he speaks for all,
All of us
One man they can grind to dust,
But if he dies for love,
Then he dies for us,
All of us
So let my life be a song
And may that song carry on

With one idea from the human mind,
Kingdoms come and kingdoms die,
Just one
The first man through is an easy kill,
But no one's safe if we all stand still
None of us,
So let my life be a son,
And may that song carry on

I will sing for truth,
I will sing for light,
When I'm gone the flame keeps burning on,
I will sing for hope,
I will sing for life,
When I'm gone the flame keeps burning,
I'll keep burning on.
