WHERE ARE YOU FRIEND?
by Heather Marion
Where are you Friend
As I wander the streets
So lost, so cold
But nowhere to sleep
Where are you Friend
In the building so tall
Making lots of money
But where should it go
Where are you Friend
In the hallways so long
Hundreds of people
But no one for me
Where are you Friend
In the gutters I live
Too high to move
But pain I have still
Where are you Friend
In the villages far away
Seeking stories anew
But for a future I still look
Where are you Friend
As I’m broken and beaten
With a baby just born
One mistake ne’er forgotten
Where are you Friend
In such a busy world
When I feel so lost
But hope I’ve not found
Where are you Friend
When all I seek
Is love to reach
From you to me
Where are you Friend
As I keep looking
But still not finding
The one I need
Where are you Friend
To go where I am
Every corner I live in
Shine only the light
Where are you Friend
As I wait for you
Why won’t you come
And say I love you
Where are you Friend
As I seek your face
Wherever I go
And where I’ve been
Where are you Friend
As I dig my hole
Ever deeper I go
Till find me you can’t
Where are you Friend
As the walls close in
Time is running out
The clock slows down
Where are you Friend
Will you answer my call
To find and to tell me
You’ve loved me so long
Where are you Friend
As the list moves past
One name still missing
One person forgot
Where are you Friend
Who will you leave
And who will you save
The path e’er uncertain
Where are you Friend
So many waiting to hear
For your voice say
I’ll be you friend
Where are you Friend
As I continue to seek
Still calling your name
But no answer I hear
Where are you Friend
As I sit and wait
My hole now dug
And in it I lay
Where are you Friend
As time moves on
Not much is left
For you to find
Where are you Friend
To the lost, lonely and afraid
The children, the adults
All just the same
Where are you Friend
As each calls out
Seeking, not finding
Their one true friend
Where are you Friend
As I wait to hear
That finally you’ve answered
And find me you will
Where are you Friend
As I look for you
No longer so lonely
No longer so lost
Where are you Friend
As I see the love
The one simple word
That provides all the answers
Where are you Friend
For I know your name
And finally I see you
And trust you the same
Where are you Friend
For the message you bring
Allows me to see
There’s hope for my life
Where are you Friend
Oh wait I seek not
For found Him I did
Since you came and spoke
My Friend I thank you
Cause answer you did
And bring the message I needed
To hear and to see
As friends we’re now joined
Cause others still need
To hear the message
That we now bring
Together we can go
Or separate we can
Depends on our calling
And where we are sent
