A friend Lyrics

What does it really mean to say that we're friends

Does it mean the bond between us never ends

Is it something on which we always can depend

That we have each others backs and will always defend

Our sister, our brother?

When I first met you I instantly knew

Though this was the first time somehow I knew you

And luck was with me when I met you again

For you helped me through times of challenge and pain

Perhaps it was chance but it felt so much more

And I feel truly blessed for it opened a door

And a life that could well have gone down a dead end

Was helped on its way by the love of a friend

Certain words come easily we're so quick to say

Terms we use for people we meet on the way

Ones we speak with little care, that we were taught

We can use so casually with little thought

Never think about the meaning of the term

Turn a precious phrase into a turgid worm

Social media friends may rot in hell or burn

If you are my true friend that's a term you've earned

What does it mean

What does it really mean to say we're friends

Does it mean the friendship never ends

And that each other we will each defend

And on each other we can each depend?

First time I saw you across a room full of strangers

Did I feel a click or was it just a trick

Of my wild imagination?

At that moment I could not conceive

And looking back I still cannot believe

All the gifts that would flow as our rivers met

A meeting I would not forget

That fateful intersection happened long ago

But over time I've always tried to let you know

Even though now we are far apart

You're always on my mind and in my heart

My esteem for you will never end

I am always here, if you want

I will be your friend

Saved by a friend, never take them for granted

Who give you what's needed, not always what's wanted

Best friends will test you and take you to task

But are there when you're down without having to ask

Stick by those true friends there's no-one quite like them

Take more care of than the most precious gem

You can't pick your family but friends you can choose

And there's little more cherished in life that you'll lose

Than a friend

What does it really mean

What does it really mean

What does it really mean to say that we're friends

If you're a friend you're a friend right to the end

Nothing more cherished in life

Than a friend
