the kind of friend

would you lay it all down

to save me, my friend? 

can you give what I need

and be happy you did?

I can say good-bye but never let you go 

you're buried too deeply inside of my soul 

can you be the kind of friend 

who always looks back? 

picks me up when I've fallen,

puts me on the right track? 

will you never look down 

and please never let me go? 

bury me there, deeply, 

inside of your soul 

we live, we learn we play another hand 

we can't see the future 

with just one glance 

we keep rolling the dice 

and leaving it to chance 

and what we lay down 

will always comes back 

we never look down 

and we never let go 

and it all comes from something 

buried deep inside of our souls
