I have these friends, and I like them a great deal
Sometimes they are the Band-Aid to help me heal
They are the words to my song
I hope that this I where I belong
I would like to start a brand new story
Let’s hope its pages are fulfilled with glory
But it is more than just the general ‘you’re great’
They are brave, crazy and they always debate
They are generous, kind and all things nice
They have decorum, respect, sugar and spice
Their modest, humble and just
They are my breads crust
They are big-hearted and open-handed
I hope this friendship is expanded
I have these friends, and I like them so much
I hope to god that they like me as such
