What is the memory
that's valued so highly

That we keep it alive in that flame?
What's the commitment
to those who have died
That we cry out
they've not died in vain?
We have come this far
always believing
That justice
would somehow prevail
This is the burden,
​this is the promise
​This is why we will not fail
Don't let the light go out
