Bill Staines Ceremony
There is singing in the wind and it is a day for dancing
As you gather with your friends, at this flaming hour of fancy
Setting out to find a future place in a love where you belong
We've traveled over time and space, and are with you in this song
We are here with you, we are near with you
And in spirit, we are one
Standing by your side with a parent's pride for a daughter and a son
Oh, the years have rolled away, and the world has turned in pausing
Still we bless thin golden day, and this moment everlasting
Life's memories of younger years remain forever strong
They stand as silent souvenirs, and with love, we pass them on
We are here with you…
So now it's come to this, as we watch from just above you
And on the breeze a kiss, to remind you that we love you
May all your troubles fly away, awash out in the blue
And together on your journey now, may all your steps be true
We are here with you…
