When All

When all is said and done At the end of the day Week, month and year At the end When the finish is near Nay, at hand One thing will hold true When the last grain of sand Has left the hour And the seconds have ticked away When the last word Has been spoken And there’s nothing left to say One thing will hold true Through whatever time Life has left Till heaven and earth pass away And eternity rules Bringing life a brand new day One thing will hold true It doesn’t matter where roads lead Nor how paths may cross Doesn’t matter if directions are found Or ways are lost Doesn’t matter if freedom comes Or at what cost One thing will hold true For when all have fled And there’s no more to be bled All battles have been fought All conquests sought When all that’s left to do Is look around to see Who’s left standing with you One thing will hold true Standing there I will be
