1. A fire soul.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\nA warm color of red<\/span><\/strong> and orange<\/span><\/strong>.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Where there is darkness<\/span><\/strong>,<\/span>

A fire<\/span><\/strong> burns,<\/span>
\ninside of you<\/span><\/strong>.<\/span>
\nA fire<\/span><\/strong> burns,<\/span>

Days come when the fire<\/span>,<\/span>
\nmay be put to ash and smut<\/span><\/strong>.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And the darkness<\/span><\/strong>,<\/span>
\nblinds.<\/span>
\nAnd the fear<\/span><\/strong>,<\/span>

We can watch<\/span><\/strong>,<\/span>
\nas glows<\/span><\/strong> and<\/span> embers<\/span><\/strong><\/span> pass by.<\/span>
\nWe can hope<\/span><\/strong>,<\/span>
\nas torch bearers<\/span><\/strong> draw near.<\/span>
\nWe can rest<\/span><\/strong>,<\/span>
\nas familiar faces are lit up<\/span><\/strong> in the dark.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Afraid to move into the darkness<\/span><\/strong>,<\/span>
\nlost<\/span><\/strong> and confused<\/span><\/strong> as Kurtz on the sea.<\/span>
\nWaiting for the day for our fires<\/span>,<\/span>
\nto be set aflame again by those who bear torches<\/span><\/strong>.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Those who bear torches<\/span><\/strong>,<\/span>
\nthat travel in the dark to find:<\/span>
\nthose who are lost<\/span><\/strong>,<\/span>
\nthose who are hopeless<\/span><\/strong>,<\/span>
\nthose who are in turmoil<\/span><\/strong>.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Those who bear torches<\/span><\/strong>,<\/span>
\nwho will keep their eyes open,<\/span>
\nwho do not lose hope,<\/span>
\nwho believe in others,<\/span>
