Deborah Scholom - Friendship lyrics

What is a friend, do friends exist? I never would have known if it weren't for you You held out your hand and I took it You pulled me to you and taught me trust I never believed in friendships touch I thought that friends were lies But you showed me truth and honesty You gave me something to believe in There are no words to say how much I care There are no words with which to thank you You are the one who took me from the dark You are the one that let me love you While everyone else said they'd be there And when I turned around they weren't You stood by me even when I told you to go There for me when I needed you so I've smiled with you and cried because of you I have flown upwards in a sky of blue toward the sun And though it was hard I learned not to run I showed you who I was, taking off my masks I have told you secrets that could tear me apart And truth be told I gave you my heart Memories of pain, anger, lies, and too much of nothing Have been replaced by that one special something And now finally I realize and understand That friendship does exist and is a wonderful thing I realize that trust doesn't have to be broken And there is more to life than things that are spoken Thank you for giving me faith Thank you for letting me love you so much Thank you for loving me as I am And thank you for showing me the way home But most of all thank you for walking beside me, Not behind me, not ahead of me Just by my side as a real friend Holding me when I lost my way And showing me to the light of day
