We were the dreamers, the boys on the wild frontier The new believers, with nothing in the world to fear We had discovered the treasure of the love and the grace of God And it burned like a fire in our hearts and we would
Throw back our heads and run with a passion Through the fields of forgiveness and grace We carried the eternal flame With an undying hope and a blazing conviction Of a truth that would never fade We were glowing in the dark Children of a burning heart
And now for the dreamers, and those who have dared to believe The flames call us deeper into the great mystery For as we draw near to the Father, we are lost in His one desire To be wholly consumed by His fire, so let us
Throw back our heads and run with a passion Through the fields of forgiveness and grace We carried the eternal flame With an undying hope and a blazing conviction Of a truth that would never fade We were glowing in the dark Children of a burning heart
So come on let’ Throw back our heads and run with a passion Through the fields of forgiveness and grace We carried the eternal flame With an undying hope and a blazing conviction Of a truth that would never fade We were glowing in the dark Children of a burning heart
