Friendship
Friendship
When you think you can’t go on,
And you’ve stopped singing
In the middle of your song
And your body feels numb and cold
Cos someone says, you are wrong,
So you’re confused and start to fold
Because you don’t know where you belong,
Specially when you are told
You’re so dramatic and weird.
These things I have also known
And as a friend, I’m here
To tell you, you are not alone
When you have nowhere to go,
And can’t find your way back home,
When you don’t know what to do or say,
You are not alone.
I can show you right now, today
That you are worthy to be loved,
I’m not made of stone,
Your doubts, fear and pain
Are all things that I have known,
Again and again.
So please, don’t be afraid to share
Just call and if I can, I’ll be there
And show you that I truly care,
You are not alone.
When you can’t find the door
And can’t take anymore,
I will be your home,
That’s what friends are for,
You are not alone.
I will hold you when you shake
And gather the pieces
If you break.
If I can’t bring your anguish to an end
I will hold your hand,
If I can’t shelter you
From the storms and rain,
Can show you that I really understand
And together we can laugh and cry again,
You are not alone.
There are people
That harm just to get more power
And are so disturbed and criticise
When we shine and flower,
If you think you must hide
When someone tries to force you
To decide
To do things you don’t want to do,
And treats you like a child,
I’m right here, by your side.
You are not alone.
I’m here to remind you:
You are a beautiful human being
And deserve appreciation
And to be seen.
For, like the birds and the trees:
A divine creation
And are worthy of dignity and respect,
Even if you are full of doubt or irritation,
Or fearful, tearful and depressed.
The most courageous thing you can do
Is not to compare,
When striving to be the best,
Or get lost and stressed, but simply rest
In the rainbow colours of all that you are.
And when life seems an endless test,
You are not alone.
When we dance together and meditate,
We find our inner strength,
Peace and light,
So don’t give up, it’s never too late
And it’s not about being wrong – or right.
But sometimes we need to go in, to go out,
Sometimes we need to scream and shout
And let things out
Just to find out,
That as we are, we’re enough.
And to remind us that we are here
To give and receive love,
So, no need to fear,
These things I have also known
Hey, You are not alone.
