It's a summer's night and I'd love to share
With brothers and sisters in great despair.
So hard to be a brother to one so wild
Trying to tell you we're the Father's child. ------ Friend

CHORUS:
But I just want to be your friend,
I just want you to know me,
I don't want to be your enemy,
‘Cause oh I love you so
Oh I love you so,
Oh I love you so, my friend. FRIEND, MY FRIEND

I'm so glad God made you I'm so glad you're here,
You're unique and beautiful,
‘Cause oh I love you so oh I love you so
Oh I love you so, my friend. FRIEND, MY FRIEND


Sometimes truth has to be a sword
That cuts deep straight to the core,
Throw out the bag of judgment’s lore,
So self-assured on rebellion's shore ------ blind

CHORUS

Yes He came to bring peace,
They should have thrown the pearls at His feet,
Yes He had a truth that was high,
They wouldn't believe, wanted him to fly ------ die.

CHORUS

No matter how hard I got to try,
Then listen to your false alibi,
All roads might lead to the same path,
But I'll take the one with the cosmic staff ------ Zen

CHORUS REPEAT OUT:...Oh I love you so,

My Father/Mother/Brother/Sister/Son/Daughter ------ Friend.
