Friendship First

It was no raft of the Medusa and no flashy cabin cruiser
But it was famous port to port, Paris to New York
Yeah, and we coasted proud and strong
As we sailed our way along on a ship called Friendship First, always Friendship First

The storms that tossed us all around to never make our ship go down
Those of the jealous kind that wished we'd be lost at sea
But the sailors and the captain would just never let it happen
And for better or for worse, it was Friendship First

Awake a good word they hardly said the good book they never read
But I would hardly change a thing, hardly change a day
We were all on the same boat and helped each other stay afloat
On a ship called Friendship First, always Friendship First (hit it)

All through Trafalgar and Titanic through SOS, we never panicked
In turns, one would take the wheel while the others sleep
And over seven seas beyond you know, we formed the strongest bond
On a ship called Friendship First, always Friendship First

We would not miss a rendezvous if one of us did not come through
He must be dead or falling through a hole in the sea
That hole's still open, and our tears could not fill it in a hundred years
Thinking of that Friendship First, always Friendship First

In life, I've taken many boats from battleships to water jokes
But the one I've loved the best carried all my friends
And wherever I may sail, I'll remember we rose and fell
On a ship called Friendship First, always Friendship First
