We Stood as One

When the sun sweeps over the ocean

In the first few hours of dawn

In the silver waving dancing

Of a new day being born

Don't it make you feel like living?

Don't it make you feel brand new?

Like the sun is holding out a hand

And giving it to you

There are times of contemplation

When you're living in the gray

And darkness rides across the land

And steals away the day

When you hide among the shadows

When you whisper in the wind

When your heart seems closed forever

To the company of friends

When our time has come around

And all is past and gone

Let us hope that we can say

We stood as one

I knew a man who carried

All the burdens of the world

And when he found the answer

The man had grown too old

For he never saw the flowers

Or felt his passion running wild

Or the innocence of laughing

And playing with a child

When our time has come around

And all is past and gone

Let us hope that we can say

We stood as one

And one day we'll remember

How the days have passed and gone

And all the roads we've travelled

And the places left behind

There are those who still find favour

And some whose memory is lost

And then we'll count our blessings

And what the journey cost

When our time has come around

And all is past and gone

Let us hope that we can say

We stood as one

When our time has come around

And all is past and gone

Let us hope that we can say

We stood as one

We stood as one

We stood as one

We stood as one
