Dear Friend

The world is harsh, it lies, it lies
But you're not lost to life.
There are those here who care, dear friend
The tide will soon release you.

Hold onto the sun, it shines, it shines
For those lost on their way.
You're never to far gone, dear friend
The light will always guide you.

My ears are here, they listen, they listen
For your words of sorrow.
And nothing you could say, dear friend
Will vanish me tomorrow.

My arms are here, they comfort, they comfort
If you will only let them.
For darkness is unkind, dear friend
But you are never alone.

My heart is here, it hurts, it hurts
With every pain you're feeling.
It slows, it quickens, it beats, dear friend
For the life that you are living.

The world is harsh, it lies, it lies
But you're not lost to life.
For I am here and care, dear friend
My love will never release you.
