Friends

Friend - a word so trite, so plain & dry
Take it for granted, abuse it outright
Beat it, demean it, and lose it overnight

Friend - an expression so absolute & white
Adore it, nurture it, hold it dear & hold it tight
And when you cry, just let it be the strength inside

Friend - an acquaintance, a comrade
Let them be a part of the unending battle called life
Let them make it right, make it glorified & make it life

Friends if you’ve, you shouldn’t have to fight it all alone
Even though it’s nobody’s battle but your own
Friends if you’ve, you shouldn’t have to be on your own
Because when things turn out bad, you’ll never be alone
