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
