lyrics

IV. For a Friend ...

While in purple promenading, to soak in the studio sun
Eyes like those of does, mirroring what lie
In an organ of words, scenes, things not yet begun
Away from the disorder, although hard, you must pry 

Self-proclaimed romantic, an open figure too
A sense of help so gracious, to guide others along to succeed
Just don't become so obliged to perform your part as glue
With self-care and direction, you can strengthen such a lead

While overlooking your pain, remember your potential for more
Over struggles your mind must crane; expose yourself, your inner core
Allow yourself to release the utmost doom, an individual your age can allow
Post such a point your mind can bloom; through tough times you will plough

To have known you this time I appreciate and smile
You say it like it is, why not continue for a while?
