Friend of a Friend

You found folks treat you right As long as you let them know You've been ready to defend their right Through doors that they oppose But if it chokes you let it go If it doesn't sound true to you It's no business of yours You can count friends on your fingers Count 'em on your toes If you leave you are a friend of all Those friendships heaven knows But there comes a time when your testimony Will crumble like a rose Let's have no pretense It's over Friendships can never be forgotten It's all there True friends will never question you You And it's all there In the stories We're about to read of a long time ago And it's really always been there To let you know There are times way back in history Where valor overcame The almighty tyrants of the past Forgotten all but name As the sons of righteous leaders Bent on crushing nations Thus believe the sprirt just And it's all there Frienships can never be forgotten In the end years You've got to hold on to what you've got What you've got And it's all there In the stories We're about to read of a long time ago In the modern day around You let it show You can see love deep in children's eyes Feel 'em in the wind You can reach the blessings of the Innocence on which we meet You can guide love in the atomosphere Arising from the source You know the citizen of chance is Another citizen of choice If you're mortal, be detroyed Then immortal be the course
