Elton John & Bernie Taupin



I have sold myself through and through

I have walked in the darkness too

I've felt a red sun, the living proof

Washed my hands in the honest truth



I have carried this weight time after time

I have bettered the dumb and the blind

I've seen dignity fail and colors run

Seen justice denied by the voice of a gun



And we walk, yes we walk

And we walk with the power every day

Never letting the light slip away



Reaching out, reaching in

Touching truth and touching skin

Never letting the light slip away

And we walk with the power every day



If our faith is a fire then burn baby burn

We've had fire long enough to learn

Keeping me whole is a healing light

Kept alive by the flames of night



Walk tall in the power day after day

Never, never, never lose sight of the way

See the dawn come and the dusk end

See the power rise from an open hand
