When you wake up, late at night
All alone, no one near sight
Who do you think of?
Who do you miss?
Who is that person that you want there?
That is friendship
As real as it can get.
When you have a hectic day
And you work only for the pay.
Who is that person in your mind?
Who do you need right now?
When you wish everything went back
And you can feel your heart crack,
Who will be there for you?
Who will guide you in the dark?
That is a friend: A guide,
A help, a hand to hold onto.
A person who cares and gives
Hoping for nothing in exchange
That is how you know true friendship
When you can fall down
Knowing that somebody will be there
To never let you drown.
*That, that is really a friend.
