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 grey
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 is come around
And all is passed 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 is come around
And all is passed 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 is come around
And all is passed and gone
Let us hope
That we can say, we stood as one
When our time is come around
And all is passed 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
