You’re staring into the fire
Watching your life seem to burn down all around you
Don’t give up the ghost
Don’t give up never surrender
Though the fire may be burning all around threatening to overwhelm
Hold fast
You’re strong even when you feel weak
You’ve been through this all before
Though you may not have gotten out without getting burned
You still got out don’t give up the ghost
Don’t surrender to the darkness or the flame
You’re the only one that can decide to keep on fighting
No one else can make that choice for you
No one else can keep you from surrendering to the darkness and the flame
I know you need a light in the dark
Let me help you with that
I’ve been where you are now
I’ve been surrounded by the darkness and the flame
Of everything burning down around you
I made it out and so can you
I made it forth onward and upward
Out of the pits that I found myself in
I reached new heights that I never dreamed of and so can you if you don’t give up the ghost
