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 shed 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.
