TIME MAY PASS BUT ALWAYS STANDS STILL
WHEN YOU'VE FOUND OLD FRIENDS WHO WERE ALMOST KILLED
IT WAS IN THE BUSH THAT EVERYONE DEPENDED ON THE OTHER TO STAY ALIVE
BECAUSE WE KNEW WITHOUT EACHOTHER WE WOULDN ' T SURVIVE
WE ALL HAD OUR JOBS AND HAD TO DO THEM RIGHT
OR ELSE ONE OF US WOULD NOT LIVE TO SEE THE NEXT LIGHT
THE FIREFIGHTS, AMBUSHES, MINEFIELDS AND BOOBY TRAPS WERE ALL PART OF THE GAME
WE JUST WANTED TO STAY ALIVE - WE WERE SEEKING NO FAME
NOW IT IS 30 YEARS LATER AND WE NEVER REALIZED
THE BOND THAT WOULD MATERIALIZE WHEN WE WOULD MEET AGAIN EYE TO EYE
IT SEEMED AS IF THERE WAS NOT A MINUTE THAT HAD PASSED
AS WE RESUMED OUR CONVERSATION FROM THE VERY DISTANT PAST
THESE ARE MY BROTHERS I NEVER KNEW I HAD
UNTIL ONE OF THEM BROUGHT US TOGETHER AFTER 30 YEARS HAD PASSED
I HAVE LEARNED A VERY VALUABLE LESSON FROM THIS EXPERIENCE
THAT TRUE FRIENDS ARE BONDED FOREVER WITHOUT ANY DETERRENCE
SO AS TIME GOES BY, WE MAY GROW OLD AND LOSE OUR SKILLS
BUT THE TRUTH IS; "TIME MAY PASS BUT ALWAYS STANDS STILL"
