Well I remember yesterday when the road ahead was clear
And now I've had to write the words to Always near. And
Now my life has changed some and not all for the good,
If they told me 10 years ago you'd die, I say you never
Could.
What's around the corner, who can tell they're fate.
There is no-one who can warn you, it's always far too
Late.
You were my hero Ian, for you I would have died. And I
Can still see the fire and passion in your eyes, I will
Carry on the fight. Your name will live forever, till
That glorious day comes when we'll fight again
Together.
What's around the corner, who can tell they're fate.
There is no-one who can warn you, it's always far too
Late.
Well you taught me everything, I learned it all from
You. Well I was just a lost boy and your music pulled
Me through. There is no way anyone could ever take your
Place, for you were one in a million, no-one else has
What it takes.
What's around the corner, who can tell they're fate.
There is no-one who can warn you, it's always far too
Late.
So my friend I say goodbye and she'd another tear, and
Wish I never had to write the words to always near. But
I will always carry on, for you I proudly serve, and
Try to bring for our people what they really do
Deserve.
