For a Friend |
When I saw him last |
he had that look in his eyes |
I said, Do you need to talk? |
he said, No. |
So I called him up, asked him again and I waited a while — |
he began to speak, then he started to cry |
You know some things are best left unspoken |
and some things just never work out |
and sometimes, seems you try and you try and whatever you do There’s a fix that you’re in, and you just can’t get out |
he said, I need your help, I need it now |
Give me the strength to go on |
Though I didn’t know what |
I knew that something was wrong |
but he still had his pride |
he’d tell me in time |
Well this feeling inside |
kept eating at me |
I was losing a friend, and I had to know why |
When I heard the voice on the phone, I knew it was bad news |
so I rushed to be by his side |
and we said goodbye for the last time |
I gently hugged him, and kissed him goodbye |
he whispered, I need your help, I need it now |
Give me the strength to go on. |
We were always laughing |
I just remember laughing, mama |
We were always laughing |
Oh I need your help, I need it now |
Give me the strength to go on |
Though as time goes by, and it all becomes clear |
we can see the deceit, we see the lies |
So I asked myself, over and over, and over again |
What did they know? |
What did they hide? |
Fools, leading the innocent blindly |
Fools, turning away |
And I know that |
when I think of my friend with that look in his eyes |
and if they told the truth, he might be here today |
I need your help, I need it now |
Just give me the strength to go on, on I remember the laughing |
We were always laughing |
Oh no — it’s just strength we need now |
Just the strength to go on… |
