  Be A Shadow to None
  
  This world’s gone all wobbly and doubly unshackled
  We’re tackled by circumstance, brought to our knees
  Financial hardship, a test of all friendship
  Crash and corruption; it’s death and disease
  
  Who is our Neighbor and where are our leaders?
  The Lord of the Flies may arise to the throne
  Though life packs a wallop a dollop of courage
  and brotherhood binds us; we’re not here alone

  Out of the shadow we stand in the sun
  Backbone and muscle: we’re not yet undone
  Bring on Apocalypse you won’t see us run
  
  And we’ll be a Shadow to None
  No, we’ll be a Shadow to None

  Buzzards and bastards, they circle disasters
  rats skitter scatter the old sinking ship
  It’s backbone bravado with Faith as our motto
  That binds us, reminds us: take aim, let her rip
  
  Goodness and Decency stumbled and crumbled
  Greed is the creed of malevolent men
  Now is the time to remind one another
  You are my Brother, yes you are my Friend

  No - we'll be a Shadow to None
  
  My Brother, we’re not yet undone

  A song I haven't bothered to finish :) John Farnham might be a good choice for singer
