I’m sad to say it’s time to go
But, until we meet again along the road
Remember this on your journey home,
When you hear the thunder roar you’re not alone

We wish you well, we wish you well,
In times of trouble may your hearts be strong
We wish you well, we wish you well,
Until we meet again,
We wish you well…
