La Fiamma Sacra - Russell Watson

A boy with the earth on his hands

For this child of the lowly

Fate had made other plans

He was only a man of the people

With barely his clothes to his name

But when he sang — there was magic

Touched by love’s sacred flame

La fiamma sacra

Chorus

Holy fire in his soul

Born to conquer the dark

A man who came — to carry the flame

Awakening — la fiamma sacra

He sang to the soul of a nation

A voice for the meek and the strong

A world of fabulous stories

Came to life in his song

With a gift for the whole of creation

He gave not for fortune or fame

A simple man — blessed with magic

Touched by love’s sacred flame

La fiamma sacra

Chorus

Holy fire in his soul

Born to conquer the dark

A man who came — to carry the flame

With a voice that can speak — to the heart

Holy fire in his soul

Born to conquer the dark

A man who came — to carry the flame

Awakening — la fiamma sacra
