for long hours I waited br for a friend true br for a friend like you br I waited long. br Then from a far off distance br I saw you br and found a true friend in you. br I wanted a friend who'd listen to my cries br wipe off my tears br without any lies. br In you I found br a friend who'd quietly listen to me br who's never about I and is all about WE br Such a friend I found in you br with an attitude so very true. br People said am crazy and am mad br they said things about me that were bad. br They found it awkward br because I found a true friend in a tree, br in you. br But how do I explain to them br I had no friend and I found you then. br A true standing so tall br above me and under the sky for times so long.
