Friend oh, friend; you know, some people
Some people, are known a life time long
Some come and go, and lost to memory
Some stay to love, tickle and care they do
You see, some people
Some love to be loved, have to be loved
But none to give, in short-change greed
Those I call my "favour friends" always in after gains
Some people I know, some people
Break all boundaries with breeze
And in an instant, life long friends, to have become
Oh friend, oh brother, to walk shoulder to shoulder
Some people, you know some people
Never make it past acquittance
We laugh and joke we share a path
But never the same, as bonds to be had
Some people , Oh, some people
Are just eluded by empathy
Always just a step short away
Always, lost on intent did
Some people
Are known a life time long
Some I keep a watchful eye on
Slippery things they are
Some are just mellow, some people
Breaking all boundaries, beautiful people
To show their care a' want for none in gains
Those are the friends I love to have
I will build bridges to where you stand
To you some people, just to you
I loved this ... and I loved the last line!
