Dear Friend

Dear friend
I know it's been some time
Around I haven't been
The sun has set upon our world
Our darkness now begins
But I was just looking back
And as skies have turned from blue
I wanted to come, to sit right here
Wanted to talk to you

The world is big and scary seems
Theres so much that you may
And as you try to peer around
You lose your path and stray
If only I could show to you
If in your eyes alight
A sun that glows to ever more
Could banish endless night

I'm sorry you have lived such pain
You know it's not your fault
Was nothing that could change the way
It works out after all
But I wanted just to share with you
To tell you that one day
You're gonna be this and much more
It's gonna be ok

I've been there once more ways than one
I've been the one to fall
To stand to crash to fall apart
To beg to plead and crawl
Come take my hand and hold on tight
I'll be here by your side
When darkness calls and hope has dimmed
Let my light be your guide

I'm sorry you have lived such pain
You know it's not your fault
Was nothing that could change the way
It works out after all
But I wanted just to share with you
To tell you that one day
You're gonna be this and much more
It's gonna be ok

Now I know it's overwhelming
And you question silently
How can I grow up to be like someone who's done so much you see
But my treasured one my sweetest child
As tears I shed speak true
When once upon a boy I was
This boy I was... was you

And if I had the strength of will
To go and see that boy
Of this I know for certain
Of this I know for sure
Don't look back on the pain you've had
For who you are today
Is the sum of all the pieces
That will make you proud one day

Now I know it's overwhelming
And you question silently
How can I grow up to be like someone who's done so much you see
But my treasured one my sweetest child
As tears I shed speak true
When once upon a boy I was
This boy I was... was you
