Lyrics

Friend

[Verse 1: Nick Hexum]

Again I caught myself thinking

Are we out of the age of awakening?

And my thoughts kept on sinking

But I'm not ready to let go of this beautiful dream

[Pre-Chorus 1: Nick Hexum with Doug "SA" Martinez]

What a thing to say

Left a mark, almost tore us apart, that would be such a shame

What a thing to say

Left a mark, almost tore us apart

Ah-ah

[Verse 2: Nick Hexum]

I'm not lost in delusion

I know I played a part of the illusion

[Pre-Chorus 2: Nick Hexum & Doug "SA" Martinez]

I must admit, what a thing to say

But that's not the way it should end

[Bridge: Nick Hexum & Doug "SA" Martinez]

My friend, not the end

My friend, this is not the end

My friend, we can't let this be the end

[Chorus: Nick Hexum with Doug "SA" Martinez]

I heard that friends are worth more than gold

Look back with a good laugh, to have and to hold

I need a friend who's warm when it's cold

Someonе to depend on when troublеs unfold

A kind of a friend who will always be there

Rely on, to fly on a wing and a prayer

I need a friend, let it begin with me

That which I offer is what I'll receive

My friend, this is not the end
