Raise Up Your Banner

Through many years

And journeys long

We shared the taste

Of tears and song

If you should stumble

I'll lend a hand

That you might lift

Yourself again

Though paths confound

And all roads wind

The miles between

Cannot divide

And if I am needed

I'll double back

To help you get

Yourself on track

If others forsake you

And you see no allies

I will be your advocate

And stand by your side

If you feel defeated

If you fall or stammer

I will lift you up

I will raise your banner

And if dear friend

Through the darkest time

You see me falter

Please raise up mine
