My Dear Little Friend
I have a friend
who was always good to me
I asked her why
she always changed her dream
she looked at me
and her eyes they glowed
she spoke with passion
When she spoke her goal
she said
my dear, my dear little friend
why have got to have only one dream
life to short to live one life
so I'm living my passion
I'm going to change everyone life
Her goal it spoke to me
the words she spoke sunk right in me
time went by by we didn't speak in years
until life bought her, her biggest fears
They found her shot on the street they say
I sat next to her in the hospital she lay
until she reached her final death
she said to me in her last breath
she said
My dear, my dear little friend
why have you got to have only one dream
life to short to live one life
live for me and your passion
we're going to change everyone life
I had a friend
she was always good to me
she spoke to me
and changed my dream
I lived for passion, I lived for life
When I grew old and had to settle down
I realised something that made me proud
The goals I reached, my dreams I achieved
I had lived her life too, and reached her dreams
When my granddaughter came to me
said she didn't know what she dreamed
I said
My dear, my dear little friend
why have you got to have only one dream
life to short to live one life
Live for you and your passion
You're going to change everyone life
