Fischer Fest Anthem

In 2007, Danny Schmidt wrote a beautiful song called "Company of Friends" that fit so well with the feeling of Fischer Fest, that we've adopted it as our anthem theme song. We sing this song together on Sunday at the end of each festival. Many thanks to Danny for letting us sing and share his song.

​

​COMPANY OF FRIENDS

When I die let them judge me by my company of friends
Let them know me as the footprints that I left upon the sand
Let them laugh for all the laughter
Let them cry for laughter’s end
But when I die, let them judge me by my company of friends

When I die let them toast to all the things that I believe
Let them raise a glass to consciousness
Not spill a drop for grief
Let the bubbles rise at midnight
Let their tongues get light as thieves
And when I die, let them toast to all the things that I believe
​
I believe in restless hunger
I believe in red balloons
I believe in private thunder
In the end I do believe

I believe in inspiration
I believe in lightning bugs
I believe in slow creation
In the end I do believe

I believe in ink on paper
I believe in lips on ears
I believe what's shared is savored
In the end I do believe

I believe in work on Sundays
I believe in raising barns
I believe in wasting Mondays
In the end I do believe

I  believe in intuition
I believe in being wrong
I believe in contradiction
In the end I do believe
​
I believe in living smitten
I believe all hearts will mend
I believe our book is written
By our company of friends
