Let′s sing a song full of hope, full of pain
Why don't you sing along my friend, for it′s our last refrain
Forever young, ever strong, ever braveMemories like this never end, no, they don't fade away
So when I'm gone, oh when I′m gone
I′ll be right there, close to the sun
Keep holdin' on, keep holdin′ on
And I'll be right there, close to the sun
Close to the sun
Close to the sun
Here′s to the one to let shine through the rain
The ones who stood for something more
We won't forget your names
The tide is high, say goodbye, we′re settin' sail
And all those midnight secrets told, we'll take ′em to the graves
So when I′m gone, oh when I'm gone
I′ll be right there, close to the sun
Keep holdin' on, keep holdin′ on
And I'll be right there, close to the sun
Close to the sun
Close to the sun
So when I′m gone, oh when I'm gone
I'll be right there, close to the sun
Keep holdin′ on, keep holdin′ on
And I'll be right there, close to the sun
Close to the sun
