The mind of a friend is quick
to sympatize and understand,
Sharing both our problems and our joys.
The heart of a friend is true,
...
Oh, for the wisdom to build a world
Where man may find delight,
Not in the strength of Martial power,
But the quest for truth and right,
...
Red roses, red roses,
Is that really what I see?
Hundreds of them, thousands of them
Shining on a tiny tree.
