[Verse 1]
Hold on steady and strong
Here's the dawn coming on won't be long
Then the sun will come shining through
To show me the place I once knew

[Chorus]
Fare thee well
Fare thee well and adieu
Fare thee well
With this song I'll be gone
Fare thee well

[Verse 2]
The old man's here and he's fine
He has come here from years down the line
He has come to bring peace to old times for the few
He has come to bring life to the new

[Chorus]
Fare thee well
Fare thee well and adieu
Fare thee well
With this song I'll be gone
Fare thee well
Fare thee well
Fare thee well and adieu
Fare thee well
With this song I'll be gone
Fare thee well
[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
Hold on steady and strong
Here's the dawn coming on won't be long
Oh, it's easy to stand in the light with the pain
In the light I will ever remain

[Chorus]
Fare thee well
Fare thee well and adieu
Fare thee well
With this song I'll be gone
Fare thee well
Fare thee well
Fare thee well and adieu
Fare thee well
With this song I'll be gone
Fare thee well
