Ok, I'm a song geek.  There is always a soundtrack in my head.  Today, for whatever reason, I'm into what I call "sacred sense of purpose" songs.  Not religious, but believing that each of us has a purpose.  This one just came up on my playlist, and actually, some of the parts of belief in yourself as being able to get past barriers and do what needs to be done applies to us.

So - from Scarlet Pimpernel - here is Into the Fire

    David walked into the valley
    With a stone clutched in his hand
    He was only a boy, but he knew
    Someone must take a stand
    There will always be a valley
    Always mountains one must scale
    There will always be perilous waters
    Which someone must sail
    Into valleys, into waters
    Into jungles, into hell
    Let us ride, let us ride home again
    With a story to tell
    Into darkness, into danger
    Into storms that rip the night
    Don't give in, don't give up
    But give thanks for the glorious fight
    You can tremble, you can fear it
    But keep your fighting spirit alive boys
    Let the shiver of it sting you
    Fling into battle, spring to your feet boys
    Never hold back your step for a moment
    Never doubt that your courage will grow
    Hold your head even higher and into the fire we go

    Are there mountains that surround us?
    Are there walls that block the way?
    Knock 'em down, strip 'em back boys
    And forward and into the fray
    Into terror, into valour
    Charge ahead, no, never turn
    Yes, it's into the fire we fly
    And the devil will burn
    Someone has to face the valley
    Rush in, we have to rally and win boys
    When the world is saying not to
    By God, you know you've got to march on, boys
    Never hold back your step for a moment
    Never doubt that your courage will grow
    Hold your head ever higher and into the fire we go

    Let the lightning strike
    Let the flash of it shock you
    Choke your fears away
    Pull as tight as a wire
    Let the fever spike
    Let the force of it rock you
    We will have our day, sailing into the fire

    Someone has to face the valley
    Rush in! We have to rally and win boys
    When the world is saying not to
    By God, you know you've got to march on, boys
    Never hold back your step for a moment
    Look alive! Oh, your courage will grow
    Yes, it's higher and higher and into the fire we go
    Into fire!
    Onward, ho!
