Here I stand once more before you
On a journey we both share
And I know you journey with me
And I know that we both care
We share trials and tribulations
Through the stations of our lives
And the faith in expectations
That the light of truth survives
Chorus:
Here I stand - here I stand
With a friend at every hand
And together with this band
I will stand - I will stand
Oh we do not meet for glory
And we do not meet for gain
But we meet to share our story
And for love we share our pain
For what makes a human human
Is not status wealth or fame
But the way we treat each other
For our journeys are the same
Chorus:
Let us raise a glass in memory
To the comrades who have gone
For we journeyed on together
When our lives were lived as one
Let us promise to remember
As we walk along life’s shore
That we’ll keep each name an ember
In our hearts for evermore
Chorus:
In the act of our departing
Let not sorrow play a part
For our pleasure we shall measure
As a treasure in our heart
For our lives are made from people
And shared moments that we store
In the centre of our being
In our deepest soul and core
