Your friendship is special
Like the flowers that bloom,
Or when a butterfly emerges
From within its cocoon...
...

When you feel sad and betrayed
Who can you count on every single day?
When you feel lost and alone
Who will be there for you in every way?
...

Soldiers are people,
Men and women too,
Soldiers are people,
Just like me and you.
...

Somewhere in the night a child cries,
A woman weeps and someone dies.
Somewhere in the night, humanity hides.
...

When you love someone so deep inside,
It seems like it's so easy to hide.
You've loved him for so very long,
You would think he could do no wrong.
...

He has to return to shut that window,
it isn't entirely clear
whether this is what he must do,
things are no longer clear
...

Window panes come crashing down
Amidst the tears and pain
Vanishing hopes are gone and flew away
Up above through twilight
...

On my own, but mostly the savannah,
Where the tumbleweeds fade away and die,
Before the glassy sun burns a summer of crystals,
The glistering waters of the high seas
...

I live through my dark existence
only to bask in your beauty
your eyes that shine like sapphires
your smile that brightens even my sad existence
...
