Lyrics

Cable's Goodbye

Hope, my Hope

I have to go away now

I have to go away now

We've come to the end

And I hope I have prepared you

I hope I have prepared you well

You must show courage now

Stand up and do not cry

You must show honour now

You must do, you must do

You must show courage now

Stand up and do not cry

You must show honour now

You stand for, you stand for us all

No, I'm not scared

For I was born a hunter

For I was born a soldier

And when I, saw your eyes

I knew this right

Cos they looked just like mine

You must show courage now

Stand up and dare not cry

You must show honour now

You must do, you must do

You must show courage now

Stand up and dare not cry

You must show honour now

You stand for, you stand for us all
