[Verse 1] Ever faithful, ever gentle You wait for me at the end Of an aimless adventure You wait for me to pause And accept That this is what had to happen Not necessarily a grand revelation But an answer To a long-burning question [Pre-Chorus] I was lost and lonely Sometimes raging just to stay alive You know the cycle The routine of wandering and wandering All just to find some shred of meaning [Chorus] We are friends Close friends We are friends From now until eternity [Verse 2] In You, Your truth, Your very essence Dear Friend, tell me Which matters more That I come from You Or that You are a part of me? You see, it is a delicate yet vital matter That I might be Your friend Not merely Your creation [Pre-Chorus] Ever-present, ever just You wait for me at the journey's end Was I blind, truly foolish all these years Unaware that You were calling Encouraging, and praising me? [Chorus] We are friends Close friends We are friends From now until eternity [Bridge] Was I so lost in strange illusions That I failed to see The darkness within the light? If so, Friend, forgive me Let us begin anew From the very source [Final Chorus] We are friends Close friends We are friends From now until eternity We are friends Close friends We are friends From now until eternity
