Fire on the arena floor   The swords are drawn,    Hear the lions roar
   The coliseum laughs and shouts    And screams for more

   They tried to crush this mutiny
   In a crimson tide of history
   But when people have seen    The truth that sets them free
   The flame passes on,    The flame passes on and on      From the heart of the people    Comes love for the people
   Love that is burning strong
   Oh, from one to another
   This dream of forever   The flame passes on

      Because of them we know His Name
   So let's lift the cross, and do the same
   An unbroken line of believers    Building a human chain
   And the flame passes on,    And the flame passes on

and on and on      From the heart of the people    Comes love for the people
   Love that is burning strong
   Oh, from one to another
   This dream of forever...
   The flame passes on
      Oh, the light of ages illumines the pages
   Words of an ancient song
   Oh, faith is the fire    That burns ever higher
   And the flame passes on

      Mothers to sons,    Fathers to daughters - everyone
   Pass it on      From the heart of the people    Comes love for the people
   Love that is burning strong
   Oh, from one to another
   This dream of forever...
   The flame passes on
      Oh, the light of ages illumines the pages
   Words of an ancient song
   Oh, faith is the fire    that burns ever higher
   And the flame passes on

      Feel the flame in your heart   Then pass it on
