Stift
The term stift or capitalised Stift (in German, and Danish until 1948, the corresponding Dutch term is sticht) is derived from the verb "stiften" (to donate) and originally meant a donation. Such donations usually comprised earning assets, originally landed estates with serfs defraying dues (originally often in kind) or vassal tenants of noble rank providing military services and forwarding dues collected from serfs. In modern times the earning assets could also be financial assets donated to form a fund to maintain an endowment, especially a charitable foundation. When landed estates, donated as a Stift to maintain the college of a monastery, the chapter of a collegiate church or the cathedral chapter of a diocese, formed a territory enjoying the status of an imperial state within the Holy Roman Empire then the term Stift often also denotes the territory itself. In order to specify this territorial meaning the term Stift is then composed with the compound "hoch" as Hochstift, denoting a prince-bishopric, or Erzstift for a prince-archbishopric.

Here For You
by: Steve HottHow many times can I say it
I don't know why you don't think we can make it
If we just talk it out in a time when there's doubt
I know everything will fall into place
Every bridge that we cross isn't easy
Every line that we draw we don't mean it
When we say it in anger we fall into danger
You're not hearing what I'm trying to say
CHORUS
You know I'll always be here for you
No matter what we've both been going through
If we take a different route we can work it out
Cause we both have so much to lose
You know there's nothing that I wouldn't do
I'd put out the fires in hell it's true
I'll leave no stone unturned, won't let you get burned
And I'll prove, that I'll always be here for you
All of the trials that we're facing
If we don't give up hope then we've made it
Every wall that we climb we get stronger inside
Can't you hear what I'm trying to say
CHORUS
You know I'll always be here for you
No matter what we've both been going through
If we take a different route we can work it out
Cause we both have so much to lose
You know there's nothing that I wouldn't do
I'd put out the fires in hell it's true
I'll leave no stone unturned, won't let you get burned
And I'll prove, that I'll always be here for you
And if it all should fall apart
Don't forget who we are
Cause we can build it back
Right from the start
CHORUS
You know I'll always be here for you
No matter what we've both been going through
If we take a different route we can work it out
Cause we both have so much to lose
You know I'll always be here for you
No matter what we've both been going through
If we take a different route we can work it out
Cause we both have so much to lose
You know there's nothing that I wouldn't do
I'd put out the fires in hell it's true
I'll leave no stone unturned, won't let you get burned
And I'll prove, that I'll always be here for you
Yes I'll always be here for you
Yeaaahh
