When i was in a coma
My heart was full of wonder
With my mind i pondered
My friends have gone asunder
My foes appeared stronger
And my anguish grew wilder
I was dumbfounded
Stood still like a statue being molded
In deep pain, i cried
Screaming for help is all i tried
Suddenly emerged a wonderful friend
And helped
Oh what a wonderful dear!
A calm and benevolent friend
Having friends that really care
This is something you shouldn't fear
But a friend who doesn't care
Might be the one that will make you fear
Look before you leap
So as not to jump into the hand of a beast
Make a wiser choice
Not until you make a nasty noise
For most friends are not so real
The good ones are also few
Ignore the ones that will tempt you
Into stealing and fraud which you shouldn't do
Search! For a friend with moralistic behavior
In term of difficulty they'll be your savior
Show me your friend and I'll tell you who you are
A wonderful friend is what you should have.
