What is a friend?
When my arms can't reach people who are close to my heart,
I picture them, picture them standing in the light of my art.
I always hug them with my prayers
Never a dull day with these players
Friends are born not made
Like a tree and its shade
The only way to have a true friend is to be one
Altogether we're a ton.
Friends are people who know you really well and adore you anyway
There will be dull and happy moments but together we're cray-cray
Love is only chatter
Friends are all that matter
We'll never be able to stop this game
So just take a deep breath and aim.
What is a friend ? A single soul dwelling in two bodies.
