You
once gave us hope that there might be a face of opposition
You
once gave people something to hang on to called sense
You
once gave meaning to the word stand up for what is right
You
once stood tall in the face of retribution, and revenge
You
once held us all in awe of what might have been
It
ended in you being unable to accept defeat gracefully
It
ended in disappointment to you and to us
It
ended in the crew deserting the sinking ship
It
ended in your lieutenants leaving you with ripostes of incredulity
It
ended in your last lieutenant questioning your loyalty
So
go gracefully into the sunset
So
go to the US where you will be happy
So
long for the good times and come back when ready
So
enjoy the drives in the open planes and fresh air
So
be with family, new beginnings and new ventures
We
will fight the good fight in this Country
We
will drive the rogues out and install Ranil
We
will keep a place for you for old time’s sake
(We
do not forget our friends even after they desert us)
