As Long As We Stand Lyrics

'll be your companionYour lover and friendIt's all I can promiseIt's all that anyone canBut the world - it was flat onceAnd now it is roundAnd love is forever'Til one lover falls downBut as long as we standJust as long as we standWe'll be togetherAs long as we standI bring this love with meIf I go, it will remainA gift that brings pleasureCan leave so much painBut if form follows functionThen it's understoodThe body is stoneAnd the heart is made of woodBut as long as we standFor the heart and the soul of the living manWe'll be togetherAs long as we standAnd the world gets hardThe world gets hard and coldWe got to answer back with our heartsWith our hearts and our soulsI have a dreamAs long as we standThe planet was whole - it was clean, it was good'Til evil met notion of boundaries and goldAnd mankind grew watchful, we still hear the soundFrom when someone got nervous and shot another man downBut as long as we standJust as long as we standWe'll be together
