Count On Me

If only I could wave a magic wand
And utter arcane words to make it right -
But even though you are across the pond,
I swear to be there, help you win the fight,
To penetrate the darkness, see the light,
And you can count on me to take your side:
I’ll always be your staunchest friend with pride.
