Hope & Friendship

Hope & Friendship Pin It

This song, from the first time I heard it, spoke to my heart and soul, a song that speaks of who I am and the friendships I hold so dear.

To each of you

This one is for you.

The rain had started tapping
on the window near my bed
There was a loop hole in my dreaming
so I got out of it
And to my surprise my eyes were wide and already open
Just my nightstand and my dresser
where those nightmares had just been

So I dressed myself and left then
out into the gray streets
But everything seemed different
and completly new me
The sky, the trees, houses, buildings
even my own body
And each person I encountered,
I couldn\’t wait to meet

And I came upon a doctor
who appeared in quite poor health
I said, \”there\’s nothing I can do for you, you can\’t do for yourself\”
He said, \”oh yes you can, just hold my hand, I think that that would help\”
So i sat with him a while and i asked him how he felt
he said, \”I think I\’m cured, no infact I\’m sure of it
thank you stranger… for your theraputic smile.\”

So that\’s how I learned the lesson
that everyone\’s alone
And your eyes must do some raining
if you\’re ever gonna grow
When crying don\’t help, you can\’t compose yourself,
it\’s best to compose a peom
An honest verse of longing
or a simple song of hope

That\’s why I\’m singing, baby, don\’t worry
cause now i\’ve got your back
And everytime you feel like crying
I\’m gonna try to make you laugh
And if i can\’t, if it just hurts too bad,
then we\’ll wait for it to pass
And i will keep you company
through those days so long and black

We\’ll keep working on the problem
we know we\’ll never solve
Of love\’s uneven remainders
there lies fractions of a whole
But if the world could remain within a frame
like a painting on a wall
then i think we\’d see the beauty then
And stand staring in awe
At our still lives posed
like a bowl of oranges
like a story told
by the fault lines and the soul
