When I was young, innocent, pure
I was taught that love was perfection...

Sleeping in the street once more
I'm always give and never take...

Fires fueled with global corruption
Failing governments, religious disruption...

These days of paradise
Stood on a balcony with a panoramic view...

Drunken nights spent on the rooftop
Hip flask of whisky in sweaty hand...

Break away from conformity
Live life without the hate...

A timeless place, set in timeless stone
Peaceful and proud, a mind of it's own...

Without your warm and friendly smile
I'm nothing...

You're awesome my friend
Funny and kind...

I left for college
You stayed in school...

I have respect for you, my friend
But you never seem to care...

When I was in pain, you held my hand
When I was scared, you showed no fear...
