We stand our ground with faithful hearts together.
They beat on through the night and into day.
Follow your path to truth with no white feather,
But, truth is hard to spot, hard to convey.

The post will drop, the clock will tick again,
The stars will shine then dawn will end the night.
Your deeds in life will not be lost in vain
Because a man came at you from the right.

Goodbye dear friend, for you we all still grieve,
We'll hold your dream to sheath the blades of war,
Proclaim your truth because we still believe
And that will validate you ever more.
