Dear friend...

"A friend is someone who hears the song in my heart and sings it back to me when I'm down."

I'm carryin' the torch for you I'm carryin' the torch You know how much it costs To keep carryin' the torch You're the keeper of the flame And you burn so bright Why don't we re-connect and Move into the light I've been going to and fro on this And I'm still carryin' the torch You must know how much it's worth When I'm carryin' the torch *

Lend your voices only to sounds of freedom No longer lend your strength to that which you wish to be free from Fill your lives with love and bravery And you shall lead a life uncommon I've heard your anguish, I've heard your hearts cry out We are tired, we are weary, but we aren't worn out Set down your chains, til only faith remains Set down your chains And lend your voices only to sounds of freedom There are plenty of people who pray for peace But if praying were enough it would have come to be Let your words enslave no one And the heavens will hush themselves To hear our voices ring out clear With sounds of freedom Lend our voices only to sounds of freedom No longer lend our strength to that which we wish to be free from Fill our lives with love and bravery And we shall lead a life uncommon *
