Yes, there must be leaders;
Yes, there must be followers.
The leader must be able to follow;
The follower sometimes, may have to lead.
Yet what happens, if by chance,
There be no leader, or follower?
Who then would their be to guide?
Who then would their be to obey?
Perhaps, it would be just a downhill slide!

Yes, there must be followers;
Yes, there must be leaders.
There must be followers to obey;
There must be leaders to guide.
Yet, what happens, if by chance,
There be no one to obey, or to guide?
Who then would their be to follow?
Who then would their be to lead?
Perhaps, it would be just a downhill slide?
Can our Republic maintain, or withstand?
Perhaps, it will be yea, or nay!
LW Bond Copywrite 2001

United we will stand, divided we will fall! Just a reminder to us all!
