"Can I be your friend?"
Can I be your friend though I'm far away?
Can I be that one you can always talk to each and every passing day?
I know the times might be rough, I know there are times you cry,
I know many don't understand the pains you feel deep down inside.
I know you feel like you're all alone,
But take a look around you, there are many who also find themselves in that same state and are very cold.
You see, we don't ask for the pains that we some times feel,
We don't pray for them to come and later on asked to be healed.
It's just a stage of life and soon It'll pass away,
It's ok to cry, but don't stay down for so long and forget about yesterday.
Reckon the times you had always smiled,
Recall those blissful memories, the best moments you had in a while,
Let that be the song you hold unto during these tough times,
Keep on walking it won't last forever, it's just a matter of time.
