Lyrics talks about people who have missed o...
We see the light of those who find
A world has passed them by
Too late to save a dream that's growing cold
We realize that fate must hide its face
From those who try
To see the distant signs of unforetold
Oh... oh, take hold
From a haze came a rage of thunder
Distant signs of darkness on the way
Fading cries scream of pain and hunger
But in the night the light will guide your way
So take hold of the flame (Take hold)
Don't you see life's a game (Take hold)
So take hold of the flame (Take hold)
You've got nothing to lose, but everything to gain (Take hold)
Ride, to a place beyond our time
Reach, for the edges of your mind, and you are there
See, that the light will find its way
Back to a place where it will stay, make it stay
Throw down the chains of oppression that bind you
With the air of freedom the flame grows bright
We are the strong, the youth united
We are one, we are children of the light
So take hold of the flame (Take hold)
Don't you see life's a game (Take hold)
So take hold of the flame (Take hold)
You've got nothing to lose, but everything to gain (Take hold)
(Take hold)
(Take hold) Take hold
(Take hold)
(Take hold) Nothing to lose
(Take hold)
(Take hold) You got nothing to lose
(Take hold)
Take hold!
