Into the Fire Songtext
von Bruce Springsteen

The sky was falling and streaked with blood
I heard you calling me
Then you disappeared into the dust
Upstairs, into the fire
Yeah, upstairs, into the fire

I need your kiss
But love and duty called you someplace higher
Somewhere upstairs
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 strength give us strength
May your faith give us faith
May your hope give us hope
May your love bring us love


You gave your love to see in fields of red and autumn brown
You gave your love to me and lay your young body down
Upstairs, into the fire
Upstairs, into the fire

I need you near
But love and duty called you some place higher
Somewhere upstairs
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 strength give us strength
May your faith give us faith
May your hope give us hope
May your love bring us love

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 hold me in the light you gave
You lay your hand on me
Then walked into the darkness of your smoky grave

Upstairs, into the fire
Yeah, upstairs, into the fire

I need your kiss
But love and duty called you some place higher
Somewhere upstairs
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 strength give us strength
May your faith give us faith
May your hope give us hope
May your love bring us love

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 strength give us strength
May your faith give us faith
May your hope give us hope
May your love bring us love

May your love bring us love
