about

First recorded by my band Strange Tenants on our 1984 album 'Movin' In'.

lyrics

Did you think that I could leave you
When you needed me the most
Did you think I’d turn my back and walk away
So know I’d not desert you,
now its started getting rough
I want you to know I’m here to stay

Shoulder to shoulder
With courage in our hearts and minds
Shoulder to shoulder
Ever forward with our heads held high

I’ve seen a lot of trouble
And I’ve seen a lot of pain
Seen a lot of people look the other way
But there’s one thing for certain
A time will surely come
When we call in the judgement day

Though we’re separated
by these bars and prison walls
You and I will both do what we must
And you have to remember
While we’re in here for you
You are all out there for us
