Don't get down or feel oppressed
our love is beauty, our union blessed
our life's a tale, that love unfolds
and we sculpt, with our unseasoned moulds,
and though at times feels frightful strange
that is just the bitter taste of change
but change we must
and change do well
so we can say
when we hear the final bell
that calls us down to lasting rest
We were in love and did our best
Our best
We were in love and did our best
Our best.
Don't you fret or feel afraid
our course is set, our bed is made
the sky line calls, the shore recedes
it’s not our heart
but the rising sun that bleeds
the past is our root
the sky’s our aim
and where we fail
we've just ourselves to blame
so grit your teeth
and spend your rage
fight the fight against the endless waves of age
and we will know, when topped by final crest
We were in love and did our best.
