I’ve stood strong, oh! so long and watched time pass,

To see the sunrise, to see the sunset.

Above me the clouds drift past each day,

Can’t see where they go, this is where i stay.

In the dark of night i stand not alone,

What keeps me company is that which roams.

The wind passes through me on a journey across the sky,

I do get cold but i never die.

Many have visited and stayed where i stand,

Some are now part of this land.

I’ll still be here long after you,

I’ve stood strong, i’m different this is true.
