The friends that go, they are not dead
They leave their lives inside our head
And though their bodies may be gone
Their spirit all around is strong

The dead are those that passed away
Who no one gave the thought of day
Who lived a life to only be
The someone that we now don’t see

How many souls await to live?
With so much in those years to give
Who find a chance does not arrive
To walk on earth and feel alive

We that live this time though short
Should live it well forgetting naught
Making friends that just might say
It’s such a shame they passed away

For that is when a soul did live
Sharing what it had to give
Lucky it had time to breath
Time to touch and in believe
