Friends for Life

Eighteen and confused
Needing direction
Parents tried
But wrong generation
Then something blew out of my AM station
Chords proclaimed emancipation
Love lost. Love found
Joy and heartache wrapped around
Three minute poems
Intoxicating sound

We were them
They were us
Grew up together
Got on their bus
Drove us to places
We've never been
We'll never be the same again

Rubber Soul
Changed the game
Rock 'n roll
Not for the tame
Got us to think
Opened our eyes
Made us laugh
And made us cry
Taught us love is
Love is always the reason why
People imagine
What was yet to come

We were them
They were us
Grew up together
Got on their bus
Drove us to places
We've never been
We'll never be the same again

Pepper took our breath away
Spun our heads, a drunken bouquet
Toking, evoking images goo g'joob
But original emotions still rang true
It was love from me to you
Love, love, love from me to you

Spread their wings, split apart
The birds don't sing. It broke our hearts
But the music never stopped
Didn't lose it, they still made art
"All Thing Must Pass"
"Imagine," "Jet," and "Photograph"
Always reflecting
How the world had changed

We were them
They were us
Grew up together
Got on their bus
Drove us to places
We've never been
We'll never be the same

Though two are gone, two remain
The four will never leave the frame
Those lads who blew out of my AM station
Took the long and winding road
To future generations
Their message transcending time
Encased in chords and rhyme
Forever ringing true
Love love love from me to you
