Hey, My Friend!

Sometimes we fool ourselves Think we can't stand alone Cold nights, empty rooms Make any hand feel like home Lonely hearts hold too tight Just to make it through the night Then the hurt cuts twice as deep That's a lesson I had to keep This world ain't Black and white Not every smile Shows what's inside Look twice Take your time Read the truth Between the lines Hey, my friend! Don't believe every word Don't let your heart Get lost in the world Hey, my friend! Keep your eyes open wide When you find something real Don't let it pass you by Some come and go Some stay close One real heart Means more than most Oh, don't let go Don't let it go The older I get, the more I know Everybody's got a story untold Different smiles, different games Different reasons, different names Some are real, some play a part Some wear kindness like a mask Trust ain't something words can prove Time will show what's really true You can't tell By the eyes Truth takes time To come alive Hold on Don't rush in Let the truth Show where you've been Hey, my friend! Don't believe every word Don't let your heart Get lost in the world Hey, my friend! Keep your eyes open wide When you find something real Don't let it pass you by When the lights go down And the noise fades out Who's still standing there? Who's still gonna care? You can lose your way You can make mistakes But when the world turns cold Don't let go of your soul Hey, my friend! Guard the heart you've got Let the world keep talking Give it all you've got Hey, my friend! Keep your head up high When the dust settles down You'll still have yourself by your side Keep walking! Keep walking through the night! Don't lose yourself! Don't give up the fight!
