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   Into a brand new day   At peace I must be with the brutal truth   To truly lead the way      Please God, give me the strength to lead   (It's my charge to keep)   Make 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)   Make the sorrow the fuel I need   (It's my charge to keep)      And 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 our way   We must never falter, we must never fail   This is our charge to keep      Please God, give me the strength to lead   (It's my charge to keep)   Make 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)   Make 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)   Make 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)   Make the sorrow the fuel I need   (It's my charge to keep)
