Verse 1 He stood beneath the open sky, With courage shining in his eyes, A voice for those who longed to speak, A heart that never turned away the weak. One single shot, the silence fell, A story ended we can’t retell. Chorus Carry the flame, though his voice is gone, Carry the truth, let the fight live on. In the face of the darkness, we’ll still remain, Charlie, your spirit will carry the flame. Verse 2 From Phoenix to the crowded halls, He answered questions, heard the calls. Debate, not bullets, was his creed, Ideas were planted like living seed. But hatred tried to strike him down, Still his light shines all around. Chorus Carry the flame, though his voice is gone, Carry the truth, let the fight live on. In the face of the darkness, we’ll still remain, Charlie, your spirit will carry the flame. Bridge For the family left behind, May love and mercy ease their minds. For every soul who grieves today, We lift our hands, we bow, we pray. Chorus Carry the flame, though his voice is gone, Carry the truth, let the fight live on. In the face of the darkness, we’ll still remain, Charlie, your spirit will carry the flame. Outro Though the world feels colder now, We’ll keep your vision, we’ll make that vow. Gone from our sight, yet never the same, Charlie, forever, we’ll carry the flame.
