I Will Be Here

you make a lot of money
you make a lot of friends
but when you lose that money
a lot of those friendships end
when you lose that job
lose that house
lose that car
lose that spouse
I will be here
you spend a lot of time
till there's no time left
you become such a stranger
you don't even know yourself
you can never write
never call
you can surround yourself with walls
but I will be here
I am the friend you cannot lose
I am the one you did not choose
I am the friend who loves you still
I am the one who always will be here
I will be here
it would take a lot of work
to drive me away
I can take a lot of hurt
I'm willing to share your pain
no, you don't impose
you don't intrude
I'll never turn my back on you, no no
I will be here
eye for an eye
such a bitter rule
it was only made to be obeyed by fools
there is no debt
there is no score
forget it, that's what friends are for
I will be here
