I'll be your companion
Your lover and friend
It's all I can promise
All that anyone can

But the world it was flat once
And now it is round
And love is forever
'Til one lover falls down

But as long as we stand
Just as long as we stand
We'll be together
As long as we stand

I bring this love with me
If I go, it will remain
A gift that brings pleasure
Can leave so much pain

But if form follows function
Then it's understood
The body is stone
And the heart is made of wood

But as long as we stand
For the heart and the soul of the living man
We'll be together
As long as we stand
As we stand
Just as long as we stand
We'll be together
As long as we stand

And the world gets hard
The world gets hard and cold
We got to answer back with our hearts
With our hearts and our souls
I have a dream
As long as we stand

The planet was whole, it was clean, it was good
'Til evil met the notion of boundaries and gold
And mankind grew watchful, we still hear the sound
From when someone got nervous and shot another man down

But as long as we stand

Long as we stand
Long as we stand
As we stand
As we stand
We'll be together
