Friends

David Lanier
Study my life, the times gone past,
funny these years went so fast.
Many friends i've had, many lost.
The ones i've kept, ones i love,
stand by me, they know it's rough.
Come hold me close, hold me tight,
dry your eyes, it'll be alright.
See times so short it's nearly gone,
about all you can do is carry on.
Live your life to please yourself,
no other goal is right.
Those who condemn can go to hell,
they don't live your life.
It may seem you can't go on,
take it all in stride,
never lose your pride.
Know that you're loved for being you,
and that we're here to help you through.
That's part of what friendship is about,
just helpin' one another out.
There are things you cannot lose,
but we all gotta pay our dues.
And though it all seems so damn hard,
you should remember who we are.
Don't forget, your friends are here,
and don't forget why we're still here.
