My Dear Friend
Skydog Music
The news broke today
A life has gone away
It hit the modern camp hard
It almost made us all fall
Fall to your knees and wonder why
Fall to the darkness that surrounds
My dear friend
Please don't give up
Don't let this destroy creation
Continue the course
Continue the love
My dear friend
I see you are barely wholesome
I see you are drowning in a Nile of sorrow
If the fire had started months ago
And struck the other home
You'd be smiling. You'd be smiling
If the storms would blow the other way
You'd be safe. You'd be safe
You are the valedictorian in the school of the hopeless
But you will overcome the Nile's rushing waters
My dear friend
Keep a smile
My dear friend
Take a deep breath
My dear friend
Its legacy remains hewn in the walls of your mind
