Your friend sees you in the hallway
They run over ask “how’s your day”
Your day is rough you need to talk
Confide in them as you walk
It’s nice to know there’s someone
You can turn to, depend on
There’s someone
True friends always there to help you
True friends always care, pull you through
True friends always share, love you too
You just need to be yourself
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Don’t have to be anybody else
They support you all the time
Lift you up so you can shine
Just when it seems you’ve got nothing
They magically turn it into something
It’s nice to know there’s someone
You can turn to, depend on
There’s someone
True friends always there to help you
True friends always care, pull you through
True friends always share, love you too
You just need to be yourself
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
You just need to be yourself
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Don’t have to be anybody else
True friends
They care
They share
Yeah yeah yeah yeah

Fake Friends
You see them chatting in the hallway
They say hello and ask “how’s your day”
Sometimes they want to stop and talk
Get some good gossip they can walk
You think you know someone
Next thing you know you’re done
You’re done
Fake friends say they care but they don’t
Fake friends say they’ll help but they won’t
Fake friends only care ‘bout themselves
They don’t see anybody else no no no no
They don’t see anybody else
Constant complaining is what they do
Give them a million, the bills aren’t new
Do them a good turn, means nothing
Nothing always becomes something
You think you know someone
Next thing you know you’re done
You’re done
Fake friends say they care but they don’t
Fake friends say they’ll help but they won’t
Fake friends only care ‘bout themselves
They don’t see anybody else no no no no
They don’t see anybody else no no no no
They don’t see anybody else
Fake friends
Everywhere
They don’t care
No no no no

Goodbye
Life never takes a holiday. On Christmas Day, a neighbor of mine in the block I live in passed away at a son’s place. He was a nice, pleasant man. One of my artistic vocations is as a singer/songwriter. A new song quickly imposed itself on my brain; not a sad song per se, but, a song that is bittersweet and hopeful. Following are the lyrics for this song. I have not included the title purposefully…this blog is about the power of words and not for any self-promotion of any kind. Integrity is key to this blog. This is what is important to me. That’s why there are no links etc. Please note though, that these words are copyrighted through SOCAN. I hope you find meaning and hope in the words I am about to present.
Goodbye good neighbour
Sorry you had to go
You were a nice man
Always happens here though
Goodbye good neighbour
Known so many here
Goodbye good neighbour
Let’s not dwell in fear
Goodbye good neighbour, goodbye
Goodbye good neighbour, goodbye
Goodbye good neighbour, goodbye
Goodbye
Life’s bittersweet
Any time of year
So unrelenting
Do your best while you’re here
Goodbye good neighbour
Known so many here
Goodbye good neighbour
Let’s not dwell in fear
Goodbye good neighbour, goodbye
Goodbye good neighbour, goodbye
Goodbye good neighbour, goodbye
Goodbye
Life is a mystery
Lost in the sands of history
Goodbye good neighbour
Known so many here
Goodbye good neighbour
Let’s not dwell in fear
Goodbye good neighbour, goodbye
Goodbye good neighbour, goodbye
Goodbye good neighbour, goodbye
