What has happened to it all?
Crazy, some'd say
Where is the life that I recognize?

Gone away

Well now pride's gone out the window
Cross the rooftops
Run away
Left me in the vacuum of my heart

What is happening to me?
Crazy, some'd say
Where is my friend when I need you most?

Gone away

Only enemies speak the truth; friends and lovers lie endlessly, caught in the web of duty.

Thank you, my friend
You attacked me,
And with that you gave me
Strength to awaken my capacity to forgive.

You wanted to belittle me,
And instead you
Enabled me to raise myself
To my fuller height.

You wanted to hurt me,
And with that you taught me
To endure pain
bravely and with dignity.

I thank you, my friend.
You wanted to destroy me,
And with that you showed me
That which is indestructible within me.

I have no trouble with my enemies. I can take care of my enemies in a fight. But my friends, my goddamned friends, they're the ones who keep me walking the floor at nights!

During dearth you will recognize the true friend, during prosperity the girl friend.

Friends are like potatos - when you eat them, they die.
