For Friends
Celebrating Bonds: Trials and Triumphs in Friendship
Lyrics
We've laughed at the worst
We've shared laughter during difficult times.
And cried at the best of us
We've experienced tears during the best moments.
And every day we're working hard at raising up the rest of us
Every day, we put in effort to uplift and support each other.
How could we have known
We couldn't have predicted the challenges that come with our shared experiences.
With every seed that we've sown
Despite our efforts, the outcomes of our actions are unpredictable.
That every year our friendship just
Over the years, our friendship faces new challenges.
Presents another test for us
Each year presents new tests for our friendship.
You are my brother/sister
You are like a brother/sister to me.
Father, please forgive me for
Asking forgiveness from a paternal figure for avoiding the harsh reality.
Shielding both my eyes from the truth
Not confronting the truth and seeking forgiveness for it.
You are my lover/giver
You are my lover/giver.
Mother, please forgive me for
Seeking forgiveness from a maternal figure for blaming failures on youth.
Blaming all my failures on my youth
Taking responsibility for personal failures instead of blaming youth.
I've got this feeling
Expressing an emotion that should not be hidden.
That's not worth concealing
Being open about one's feelings daily.
Cause every day I'm keeping tabs on what i've been revealing
Keeping track of personal revelations and sharing them.
A sense of wonder
Feeling a sense of wonder and joy.
A sense of joyous joy
Experiencing a joyous feeling of love.
At the notion that I love you and I'm
Believing in oneself as someone worthy of love.
Someone worth believing
You are my brother/sister
Reiteration of a close bond like that of a brother/sister.
Father, please forgive me for
Seeking forgiveness from a paternal figure again.
Shielding both my eyes from the truth
Repeating the act of avoiding the truth and seeking forgiveness.
You are my lover/giver
Reiteration of a close bond like that of a lover/giver.
Mother, please forgive me for
Seeking forgiveness from a maternal figure again.
Blaming all my failures on my youth
Reflecting on past mistakes and blaming youth for failures.
If you find me falling
Facing a potential downfall or difficulty.
I will hear you calling out
Willingness to hear and respond to a friend's call for help.
To lend a helping hand right to the end
Commitment to extend a helping hand until the end.
And when we all awaken
Hope for a positive awakening and judgment based on actions for friends.
I hope that we are taken up
Desire for a positive outcome when judged for friendship.
And judged by what we all have done for friends
Aspiring to be judged based on collective actions done for friends.
Judged by what we all have done for friends
Reiteration of the hope for positive judgment based on friendship actions.
Judged by what we all have done for friends
