Always Near (For Ian)

Now I stand alone, I hear the wind in the trees
And as I listen I hear your voice on the breeze
Saying Ken don’t you fall along the path we chose
Remember everyone who cames eventually has to go
This loss I fell is on so great
The death of my brother is so very hard to take
I remember the good times oh so clear
And I know your strength � is always near
Now some say absense makes the heart grow fonder
But, sometimes I just sit here crying an I wonder
Why life is so unfair + the good die oh so young
And no � one can tell me why I wasn’t the one
Your memory will never be allowed to fade
We will continue the struggle on which your life was made
I don’t know all the answers, but I will stand up true
And in all of my actions Ian, I will think of you
Now please watch over me, and guide my hand
So I do what is right while I fight for my land
Steer me save along our patch to destiny
To the ultimate goal + we are all free
