Friends and Family (Stripped)

I've been given more than any man could reasonably expect
Tasted fame, I've tasted fortune
Undeniably, I'm blessed

When you're young you hear them say it,
But you don't fully believe
It all means nothing without friends and family
Oh god, thank you for my friends and family

I've won awards for playing chords
I've been the talk of the town
I've seen my name in lights
I've heard the roaring of the crowd
When I was young I thought that love would come from things that I achieved
The kind of love I crave and really need
Oh, that only comes from friends and family

(La da da da)

Oh god, thank you for my friends and family
Oh god, thank you for my friends and family

Now it's good to have self-worth
And I'd say I have self esteem
But I'm only just one person
In this human symphony
And everybody knows that just one note don't make a masterpiece
There's no beauty there's no tension no release

Oh god, thank you for my friends and family

(La da da da)

Oh god, thank you for my friends and family
Oh god, thank you for my friends and family

Now when it all is said and done
And my lungs no longer breathe
And I'm walking through the gates
My maker stands in front of me

And asks me what'd you do down there
What's the legacy you leave?
Hope I can respond confidently
That I spent my days, my time, my energy
Giving all I had to friends and family

(La da da da)

Oh god, thank you for my friends and family
Oh god, thank you for my friends and family
