Hey Hey Johnny

With everyday we spent in a place where we do not belong
Our bond becomes stronger, one like of a parent and child
With support in our hearts, we always pull each other along
Through life's path, reminding us of times we once smiled

Jokes we may always spew, only because it is what aids us
We strive for the laughs we cause, leaving our mark in them
People speak of us as a comedy team, we relieve their stress
Even when we go beyond, it is us they will always condemn

You have always been there to listen, for that I am grateful
Treating me like a second father; it is what I hold very dear
We will find where we belong, even if life to us is hateful
Continuous battles we will win, there will be nothing to fear

Higher powers may try to hold us apart, but it is not enough
Nobody will sever the bond between, which they always try
This is what we both need, since we both have had it tough
A young kid and an old man, as friends together we will fly

I think how funny it is how we came to be such best friends
They all may doubt our ways, I dare them to cast the stone
Through all the tears, links we will remain to all day's ends
Hey hey Johnny, cry no more, for I will not leave you alone
