Mike Perry - Remember Friends

REMEMBER THE TIME
WHEN YOUR HEART WAS BATTERED?
REMEMBER THE TIME
WHEN YOUR PRIDE WAS SHATTERED?
REMEMBER HOW YOU THOUGHT
THE PAIN WOULDN'T END?
YOU HOPED AND PRAYED
YOUR HEART WOULD MEND.
YOU FELT SO ALONE,
YOU STARTED TO CRY.
IT HURT SO MUCH,
YOU WANTED TO DIE.
FROM YOUR EYES
FLOWED A RIVER OF TEARS.
BUT YOU GOT SUPPORT
FROM YOUR FRIENDS AND PEERS.
THEY WERE AT YOUR SIDE
IN YOUR HOURS OF NEED,
THEY SOMEHOW ALL KNEW
THAT YOU WOULD SUCCEED.
REMEMBER HOW THEY TRIED
TO MAKE YOU SMILE?
OR HOW THEY KNEW
TO DISAPPEAR FOR A WHILE?
THEY WERE THERE
TO HELP EASE YOUR MIND,
TO HELP YOU LEAVE
YOUR TROUBLES BEHIND.
SO REMEMBER THE HURT
THAT YOU'D BEEN THROUGH,
AND HOW THEY KNEW
WHAT TO SAY AND DO.
REMEMBER YOUR FRIENDS
WHEN THEY LOOK TO YOU.
BE A FRIEND...
AND HELP THEM TOO.
