For A Friend

When I saw him lastHe had that look in his eyesI said: "do you need to talk?"He said: "no"So I called him upAsked him again and I waited a whileHe began to speakThen he started to cryYou know some things are best left unspokenSomethings just never work outAnd sometimesSeems you try and you try and whatever you doThere´s a fix that you´re in and you just can´t get outHe said "I need your help,I need it now!Give me the strength to go on!"Well I didn´t know whyBut I knew that something was wrongHe still had his prideHe´d tell me in timeBut this feeling insideKept eating at meI was losing a friendAnd I had to know whyWhen I heard his voice on the phoneI knew it was bad newsSo I rushed to be by his sideWe said goodbye for the last timeI gently hugged himKissed him goodbyeHe whispered: "I need you helpI need it now!Give me the strenght to go on!"We were always laughingJust remember laughing mamaWe were always laughingOh I need your helpI need it nowGive me the strength to go onWell as time goes byAnd it all becomes clearWe see the distantWe see the lightSo I asked myself over and over and over againWhat did they knowAnd what did they hideFools..give it to me..stop laughingFools..turn it awaySometimesWhen I think of my friend with that look in his eyesAnd if they told the truthHe might been here todayOh I need your helpI need it knowJust give me the strength to go onWe were always laughingJust remember the laughingWe were always laughingIt´s just we need it now
