Today, I found an old friend

I had forgotten him over the years

It had been such a long time

Couldn’t hold back the tears

…

We grew up together

Went to the same school

Laughed away our childhood

And danced like fools

…

We had common interests

And I know that we still do

We write all sorts of rhymes

And he likes football too

…

He knows my flaws and fears

And I know his very well

There is no better friend than him

Between heaven and hell

…

I felt bad for I had forgotten

How valuable he was to me

My hunting days are over

A friend is what I like to be

…

And I promised him that I will remember

To never bid him goodbye

It washes away all my pains

My greatest friend is I

I don’t know where the road starts

I don’t know where the journey ends

I cannot tell a mile from a metre

In the company of friends

Restless river, sparkling sea

Tell me what I ought to be

Standing upon the silver sand

Searching for a long lost friend

With the waves crashing at my feet

Just one person I’d like to meet

Bring him back to the shore

And everything will be like before

I shall greet him on his way

Without any further delay

And that moment shall forever last

Without any fear of the past

Rising river, soaring sea

Help me bring a change in me

Sighing upon the silver sand

Help me find a long lost friend

Sleeping on the pavements

Tall buildings is what I see

Wondering under the open sky

How wonderful life could be

But I also know that somewhere

Someone is staring down at me

Wondering what it would be like

To be careless, young and free
