The Bonds That Bind
My heart feels like stone, my feelings are closed away
I feel alone and isolated, in a world so crowded
My mind stays in one place, but yet it wanders
Life can be so nice, but yet it hits you like thunder
I have friends both near and far
I have them here in front of me
We talk and talk and we see
That they're alone just like me
Some we keep as good friends, some go on their way
Some just say hi, and never stay
Others never leave, and help us when we're down
The friends we make can be for life, or for a day
The time we have is a special bond
Don't break the bonds that bind
For friends we ever keep
I hope they'll all like you
