Friends are our soul,
from wolves they make dogs,
they speak to you about lakes
where can sink your tears,
they think better than you do.

Friends are our soul,
they are on platforms,
they wait all summer long
that you come back from Iran
or from Australia with a kangaroo.

Friends are our soul,
they offer to you a real face,
they are trains towards trust
for which you don't buy tickets.

Friends are our soul,
the one that consoles from love
and who teaches you the difference
between I and they
friends are our soul,
the one who sings
when you miss everything.

Ah, this is good stuff!

There is a nested assonance loop formed by "tickets" and "difference", with "soul" and "consoles" in between, but that actually works well for this reader. Made me reread the relevant lines and perhaps understand something more from them.

Good friends and good council are indeed important in this life.
