Keep the Fire

There's a river in Evening ember glow And you're wishing you could see How far it flows Rolling on to an endless sea You'd be well on your way If you could only set sail. But dreams can drift away And sails can fill with doubt Where's your vision If the embers flicker out? Don't let it slip from view The horizons are waiting Your river is fading [Chorus:] So keep the fire burning tonight See just what comes into sight Don't take forever Take it through the night And believe the sun Will rise with the dawn That's all you need to go on But for tonight Just keep the fire burning bright I will never need to ask "What have I done?" Comes a moment when it's clear There's only one. Oh, whatever you need of me I've made up my mind I'll give you more than you've asked for And there are those who can foresee Where we will go All the future... I don't really want to know Only that you'll be here with me. While the embers still glow We'll be safe till tomorrow. --- Keep the Fire - Kenny Loggins
