Still a Friend of Mine lyrics

You took your time

To speak your mind

Took every chance to disagree

Talked late night talks

Walked midnight walks

To find out what you wanna be

The same old lies

Just compromise

No angry voice amongst the crowd

A world of people keeping quiet as they’re told

You were the one to speak out loud

I wonder how the world would be

If everyone could see what you could see

Give me a sign

You’re still a friend of mine

No cash in hand

No promised land

Could ever put your mind at ease

When you made fun of all that stardom and fame

They said that you were hard to please

I wonder how the world would be

If everyone could see what you could see

Never in line

You’re still a friend of mine

We need the stubborn little child

That keeps the naked emperors from running wild

So we might start to talk about

What we don’t dare to see

And maybe find the child in you and me

You took your time

To speak your mind

Until the truth was plain to see

We’re run by maniacs by maniac means

And only love will set us free

I wonder how the world would be

If everyone could see what you could see

Never in line

Pearls before swine

After all this time

You’re still a friend of mine
