MY NAN
stephen beer 1969 (plymouth)
THE Nation Wakes With Tears IN Their Eyes
Many came and many went
with their swords of words and steel
But nothing worked to awaken public
the queen will ever live in our hearts and lives to come
today lets remember what the queen means to us
Not gold but only men can make
A people great and strong;
Men who for truth and honor's sake
Stand fast and suffer long.
Brave men who work while others sleep,
Who dare while others fly...
They build a nation's pillars deep
And lift them to the sky.
tears fear s that is life
lets change for the better
remember in the days to come
be stong in what you do.
