Story behind the song
Last weekend the Cantley Clan came together to see off the last of the Aunts and Uncles. During a very emotional speech one of our elder cousins, a son of the deceased, made the comment that now WE are those Aunts and Uncles and those words inspired this song.
Lyrics
The Changing of the Guard [18.05.2015] [V] We've had a good run, memories to fall back on. Stories to tell if we take the time. Long lived for some while others were taken a little to soon what's done is done. Situation's have changed and with it the mantle. We have become those who came before. Those ones we counted on for guidance and direction. Now it's up to us to open our doors. [C] Lets keep this together for what we have is real. When we're all together I can tell ya how I feel. Think of those before us their hearts were never barred. It's a change up in the chorus and the changing of the guard. Instrumental Break [V] It's the trick of Mother Nature, and that little rascal time. Who were waiting 'round the corner until the elders left the line. We've seen how quick it passes with the children of our own. It's up to us to open up our hearts and our homes. [Chorus] [B] Yes it is our children that form our family bands but it's all of us together that makes the Cantley Clan! [C] We must keep this together for the love we feel is real. When we get together I know how I feel. Those who came before us that now left us in charge. With a change up in the chorus and the changing of the guard. [Tag] Those who came before us whose hearts were never barred. Have rearranged the chorus and the changing of the guard. Copyright © 2015 by Douglas Murphy
