As Long As We Stand - Melanie

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
