You gave your love
To see in fields of red & autumn brown;
You gave your love to me,
And lay your young body down
Up the stairs, into the fire…
I need you near,
But love & 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…
It was dark, too dark to see,
You held me in the light you gave
You lay your hand on me
Then walked into the darkness
Of your smoky grave
Somewhere up the stairs,
Into the fire…
I need your kiss,
But love & 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 love give us love…
