You can't believe your eyes, the lines that show;
The mirror doesn't lie, you're growin' old.
The love, the love, the love you
Thought would last a lifetime is growin' cold.
You're the one who had to run and hold the fire (whoa)
You were hot and always got your one desire (whoa)

Now you say your hands are shakin',
Now you say your heart is breakin',
Now you've got a funny feelin'
Nothin' lasts forever, hold the fire
(You're the one who had to run
And hold the fire) c'mon, hold the fire
(You were hot and always got your one desire) gotta hold on
(You're the one who had to run and hold the fire)

You said you'd never change, you were born to fly
But, now you're feelin' strange and you don't know why
The time, the time, the time you'd
Thought would last forever has left you dry
You're the one who had to run and hold the fire (whoa)
You were hot and always got your one desire (whoa)

Peace and love you once called freedom;
You ain't sure you're still believin',
Now you've got a funny feelin' nothin' lasts forever, hold the fire.
(You're the one who had to run and hold the fire) c'mon, hold the fire
(You were hot and always got your one desire) gotta hold on
(You're the one who had to run and hold the fire) hold the fire
(You're the one who had to run and hold the fire) c'mon, hold the fire
(You were hot and always got your one desire) hold on

(You're the one who had to run and hold the fire) c'mon, hold the fire.
(You were hot and always got your one desire)
(You're the one who had to run and hold the fire) hold the fire
(You were hot and always got your one desire) hold the fire
(You're the one who had to run and hold the fire) hold on, hold on
(You were hot and always got your one desire) hold the fire

(You're the one who had to run and hold the fire) just hold the fire
(You were hot and always got your one desire)
(You're the one who had to run and hold the fire) oh
(You were hot and always got your one desire)
(You're the one who had to run and hold the fire)
(You were hot and always got your one desire)
