A Friend

If it's my time first, to leave this earth Then I'll wait for you by the gates If they insist I come in I'll explain that a friend Shared their heart till the end, And I'll wait for as long as it takes For who would I be To let a friend search for me Never knowing if I'll see their face So I can't go alone Till my friend walks me home Hand in hand, down the road, pass the gates And if you go first, remember these words I'll find you, whatever it takes To be with a friend Who shared their heart to the end Only time can keep me away, So just wait by the gates And I'll see you someday Just insist, that you can't go in, Cause there's a friend left behind Who needs their hand placed in mine, And I can't go alone Till my friend walks me home Hand in hand, down the road, pass the gates Kevin D.
