Bruce Springsteen

The sky was falling and
streaked with blood
I heard you calling me,
then you disappeared
into the dust
up the stairs, into the fire
up the stairs, into the fire
I need your kiss, but love
and duty called
you someplace higher
somewhere up the stairs
into the fire
May your strength
give us strength
May your faith give us faith
may your hope give us hope
may your love give us love
may your strength
give us strength
may your faith give us faith
may your hope give us hope
may your love bring us love
you gave your love to see,
in fields of red and
autumn brown
you gave your love
to me and lay your
young body down
up the stairs into the fire
up the stairs into the fire
i need you near, but love
and duty called you
somplace higher
somewhere up the
stairs, into the fire
May your strength
give us strength
May your faith give us faith
may your hope give us hope
may your love give us love
may your strength
give us strength
may your faith give us faith
may your hope give us hope
may your love bring us love
may your strength
give us strength
may your faith give us faith
may your hope give us hope
may your love bring us love
it was dark, too dark
to see, you hold me
in the light you gave
you lay your hand on me
then walked into the darkness
of your smoky grave
up the stairs
into the fire
up the stairs
into the fire
i need your kiss, but love
and duty called
you someplace higher
somewhere up
the stairs, into the fire
May your strength give us strength
may your faith give us faith
may your hope give us hope
may your love bring us love....
May your love bring us love
