Friends Together

For you to feel as you feel right

I’ve walked that path and seen those sights

Of pain and great despair.

I’ve come through darkness to brightening lights

With a journey I must prepare.

I’ve heard and learned and gone and tried

And at first I did not succeed.

At times I thought my friends had lied

For me to join this reckless deed.

The gloom caved in and hope was gone

And I began to shy away

But from this darkness true friends shone

To help start this bright new day.

Afresh with hope I started loud

Focused to go again.

So I stand here before you tall and proud

That I am now amongst true men.
