Bridge of Friendship
If I've failed to make it clear before, perhaps you've never known
you'll share my shoulder in your storm, I'll lean against yours, too
I should have told you long ago, or did you always know?
A harbor's light, you shined for me, when winter's storms had come
Friend you are, in rain or shine, across two restless seas
Like you, I've faced the darkest times, and you were there for me
A wave would come, and we survived, and stronger we became
Bridge of friendship, gave us hope, and gave us rope to cling
Through the years, we've taken turns, when life would bring despair,
troubled times, were when we've learned a friend is always near
Water never flows with ease, a lesson we have learned
I have seen it high, you've seen it low, but we've made it to the shore
Will we drown, our ship go down?.....I think we'd both say no
Ease your mind, and I will find a way to let you know
Your troubled journey, is my own, you'll never sail alone
Mind the bow,.... and I will row, until we sail on home
