I sing for you my friend Be safe, be strong, be all you are and more You are beautiful You are special You are loved I know you are troubled You’ve got personal trials Your inner fights Your own battles I’ve heard you say, “I’m ugly” I’ve heard you say, “I’m nothing special” I’ve heard you ask, “Why do you love me?” I know I've said the same But you are beautiful, inside and out From your skin to your heart But you are the most special person to me For I trust you as a best friend But you deserve love as no one else, and as all do Since you are you and no other So listen to this song and know you’ve always got My shoulder to cry on My hand to hold My everything to be I love you with an intense fiery passion The flame’s color only dependent On our relationship Best friends, you burn yellow as sun and lemon and sand Old friends, you burn orange as citrus and rust and balloons Romantic friends, you burn red as blood and apples and flowers The comedic and entertained, you burn green as grass and words and ether The sad and most troubled, you burn purple as violets and poison and art And the ones I love most? You burn blue-white, the hottest flame of all The blue-white of shells and ice and sky So to my friends all: Know this and hear my song You are beautifully stunningly gorgeous You are more special than the stars you wish on You are more loved than I can ever say To me you are everything Love and Laughter Food and Drink Breathe and Life
This for my friends who cry and sorrow, now or in the future or past
