Are you my friend
If I ask for help and you are not there?
Are you my friend
When you ignore me to spend time with others?
Are you my friend
When you relax at home when I need you most?

Of course you are.
I accept you as the person you choose to be with all my heart

My friendship is not a shackle that binds you to my will
My friendship is not a bat with which to beat you if you give not enough
My friendship is the key that sets you free of your bonds
My friendship is the gentle hand that touches your head in fellowship

No matter who you choose to be, or how far apart we stand
My love is always there for you to hold close, even if I am not
