FRIENDS

FRIENDS

You know when you're in need; I'm there to give you a helping hand.

Good or bad no matter where you are I'm your biggest fan.

Whatever happens in life, I will be there until the end.

You know, wherever you go and whatever you do, I will always be your friend.

I know if I need a hug, your arms will always be there.

If I just need to talk, I can always have your ear.

I know that if I need a dollar, you'll be the one to lend.

No matter what I want or need, I know you will always be my friend.

If you get lost, I will search for you and bring you home.

If you’re cold, I will warm you and keep you from being alone.

If you have questions, you can ask me again and again.

When everyone else has abandoned you, I will still be your friend.

I know if I need you to, you would go across the ocean,

And not just to give a gesture or go through the motion.

Whatever you do for me I know is not a trend,

That you will always be there, you will always be my friend.

I would run through fire to keep you by my side.

To keep you from leaving, I would push back the tide.

To keep the path straight back to me, I will straighten the river that bends.

I know as life goes on that we will always be friends.

I would fly to the clouds way up high.

There is something that we have that money can't buy.

When we are together, we are who we are and don't have to pretend.

I don't have to worry about the message that I send, because you will always be my friend.

I know you would climb the highest mountain or descend into the deepest cave.

You would go anywhere you had to if it was me you had to save.

My right to believe what I believe you will always defend.

There is a bond that keeps us together so you will forever be my friend.

I would fight a bloody battle just to hold you in my arms.

I would die a painful death to keep you from harm.

You can have friends that are friends and lovers that are lovers and the two will never blend.

But when you have a friend as a lover, you will always have a friend.

THIS DREAM

THIS DREAM

I stand here wondering if this life has been what it seems.

Has this life just passed me by, has it all been in my dreams?

Once there was someone here, but now there's a different tone.

I know when I wake up from this dream, I will be all alone.

This dream has been nothing but fuss and fight.

If there had been more talking in this dream, things could have been right.

Maybe if the demon didn't have to control my dreams things could have been good.

Maybe if I had tried a little harder, I could have understood.

In this dream there is no right and there is no wrong.

What if this dream had a different tune, what if I had sung a different song?

In this dream there are no pointing fingers, there is no blame,

Because no matter what happens this dream is going to end the same.

In this dream there once was love, at least it felt that way to me.

Something that makes you feel so good, what else could it be.

I know it had to be love in this dream because when it started to go bad

Only love can make you feel so sick, only love can make you feel so sad.

In this dream you could be sad or you could be glad.

In this dream you could see angels or devil's that are oh so bad.

If this dream is filled with demons, there is only one thing you can say,

Maybe there will be fantasies that come true in a dream on another day.

This dream can take you to places that you don't know where you are.

It can take you to places that are near and places that are far.

This dream is all there is, it's what keeps you on the go.

No matter what your reality is, this dream is all you know.

Even if this dream is just a dream, dreams have a time that they begin,

And when this dream is through, it has a time to end

There were times that this dream felt like it would go on forever.

It felt like this was where I belonged and from this dream I would wake up never.

This dream turned into a nightmare and I woke up in a sweat.

I was being chased around; I think it was my soul she was trying to get.

I woke up from this dream just in time, before she reached her goal.

I got up from this dream and walked away, and still had my soul.
