A FRIEND

Words & Music by: Piet Louter

What is a life like without a friend?
Just someone, who's taken with you
At whom you feel easy and confident
And say things just freely and true
Whom you can laugh with as well as cry
And going together through a lot of things
Whom you can trust in and hold on by
Whatever life would bring

If you are to do without these things, you're to make it alone
Feeling all the world is threatening your life on your own
Getting on without some sympathy, you may think, you can
But once you surely come to see
That you miss that love of someone, who feels like a friend

If you care to pour out your heart
You need someone, who must understand
At whom you don't have to be on your guard
And your secrets are just in good hands
But how can you trust someone to be like that?
You may have mistaken so many times
Your greatest friend may turn out to be bad
And you'll always hold in mind

If you are to do without a friend, you're to make it alone
Feeling all the world is threatening your life on your own
Getting on without some sympathy, you may think, you can
But once you surely come to see
That you miss that love of someone, who feels like a friend

Just someone, who feels like a friend
Just someone, who feels like a friend
