Kevin Fix - A Friend

If it's my time first, to leave this earth
Then I'll wait for you by the gates
If they insist I come in
I'll explain that a friend
Shared their heart till the end,
And I'll wait for as long as it takes
For who would I be
To let a friend search for me
Never knowing if I'll see their face
So I can't go alone
Till my friend walks me home
Hand in hand, down the road, pass the gates

And if you go first, remember these words
I'll find you, whatever it takes
To be with a friend
Who shared their heart to the end
Only time can keep me away,
So just wait by the gates
And I'll see you someday
Just insist, that you can't go in,
Cause there's a friend left behind
Who needs their hand placed in mine,
And I can't go alone
Till my friend walks me home
Hand in hand, down the road, pass the gates
