You stood with me when few others did

Back when I was not much more than a kid

You showed me faith I had never known

And I knew that I'd never stand alone

When my hammer rang on that hard cement

You showed me what standing for something meant

When I’d hear your voice on the laughing wind
I would smile knowing I had a friend

Who stood with me when the battles raged 

When the lines were drawn from another age

And our songs would try to say something true

You stood with me- now I stand with you

As your hammer rings on this hard cement

When they ask where standing for something went

I will hear your voice laughing on the wind

And I will smile knowing I have a friend

I’ll stand with you in the driving rain 

In the howling wind and the hurricane
For your soul is kind and your heart is true
And you stood with me, now I stand for you
