Embrace The Friend

11/10/06

I know he don’t trust me when I try to talk with him

I know he is hurting and doesn’t embrace the friend

Who’s been there from beginning and will be there till the end

Oh I know he don’t trust me when I try to talk with him

I understand your sorrow and I understand your pain

I hear you when you’re crying and hiding from the shame

I want to embrace you but you do not here my call

And so I write to you this love song and hope that you don’t fall

You’re a boy inside that’s for sure and there’s nothing wrong with that

You’re a teenager on the verge of another rebellious act

You’re a lover and a loner and a seeker of the truth

Still you can’t define the reasons why your feelings are so few

A dreamer and a legend is what you are about

In the mind you take for granted when your thoughts are filled with doubt

You wish that they would go away so you could get on with your life

But who are you fooling for the darkness knows the light

And you sound appalled by what’s been told when I share with you this truth

That it’s feelings you’re afraid of and nothing more is true

You’ve spent your life writing lines and reading all you know

But life is not a chapter found stacked against the wall

The outrage sure I understand, you just want to explode

You feel victim of a circumstance beyond your control

But what would happen fella if you were just to sit with this

For the feelings that you run from keep you prisoner from the bliss

Loneliness and emptiness are all apart of life

And sadness and helplessness well believe me there still right

There’s nothing wrong with writing songs and writing how you feel

But the day of being human is embracing the unhealed

It’s the day you will recognize that I am truly you

I’ve been there with you my soldier; I am there when you lose

Together we are okay for we can ride out this storm

For feelings will not harm us, it’s the running we must deplore

I know he don’t trust me when I try to talk with him

I know he is hurting and doesn’t embrace the friend

Who’s been there from beginning and will be there till the end

Oh I know he don’t trust me when I tell him I am him
