The Constant and the Change
Friend I remember the first time we sang
I remember the first lines we wrote
In the height of invincible youth
And I can remember the words we would excange
Over food, drink, and laughter the way
You became like my brother those days
Do you remember the roads that we drove through
The music that connected our souls
Do you remember the things we believed
'Cause I can't believe how the years have been changing
The paths that we took look so different
But Friend we've got history
And I keep a prayer in my heart
That God will be with you wherever you are
And I pray that our paths will keep crossing my friend
And if you need a dollar or the shirt off my back
I will give, if I can, anything that you lack
And I pray that our paths will keep crossing my friend
I've seen the pain time's inflicted on you
The dreams that we predicted
Seen you laugh in the face of a hurricane wind
And I've seen the bottle take you like a wave
Just to lift you up high in its cage
And smash you right into the shore
Friend you have been in my heart since our youth
Still you stand there like God-given proof
That brothers don't have to be blood
