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 brave
Memories 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 holding on
Keep holding on
And I'll be right there
Close to the sun
Close to the sun
Close to the sun

Here's to the ones
Who 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 setting sail
And all those midnight secrets told
We'll take them to the graves

So, when I'm gone
Oh, when I'm gone
I'll be right there
Close to the sun
Keep holding on
Keep holding 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 holding on
Keep holding on
And I'll be right there
Close to the sun
Close to the sun
