Hey, I think I've been spelling "Stewart" wrong. Sorry.

SONG FOR A FRIEND
by John Stewart

When you sit and wonder why things have gone so wrong,
You wish someone would tell us where our friend has gone,
Look then to the hills for there's courage in the wind,
And in the face of freedom and those who look to him,
Then I think we'll know where our friend has gone.

Summer takes the winter and the good years take the pain,
There'll be laughter in the world again but hearts won't be the same,
I know I'll remember when a chill wind shakes the sky,
Speak of years he gave us hope for they will never die,
As we gaze at brave young men when yesterdays roll on,
Then I think we'll know where our friend has gone.
