My heart holds this powerful desire
The desire to stand by you, my friend
Your friendship lifts me higher and higher
Never do I want to quench this fire
Our friendship knows no boundaries; no end
My heart holds this powerful desire
Your heart sings to me like a beautiful choir
Such vibes of purity and honesty you do send
Your friendship lifts me higher and higher
My friend, you lift me out of the muck and mire
And in companionship our hearts do blend
My heart hold this powerful desire
Of you, I could never tire...
When I am down, you help me to mend
Your friendship lifts me higher and higher
I treasure you dearly; you so inspire
For you're such a treasured and cherished friend
My heart holds this powerful desire
Your friendship lifts me higher and higher
