Friend of a Friend Lyrics

You can count the folks that treat you right
As long as you let them know
You′ll be ready to defend their right
Through those that they oppose
But if it chokes you, let it go
If it doesn't sound true to you
It′s no business of yours

You can count friends on your fingers
Count them on your toes
You believe you are a friend of all
Those friendships have a nose
But there comes a time when your testimony
Will crumble like a rose
Let's have no pretense

It's all there
Friendships can never be forgotten
It′s all there
True friends will never question you, you
And it′s all there
In the stories we're about to read of a long time ago
And it′s really always been there
To let you know

There are times way back in history
Where valor overcame
The almighty tyrants of the past
Forgotten all but name
As the sons of righteous leaders
Bent on crushing nations
Thus believed their spirit just

And it's all there
Friendships can never be forgotten
In the end is
You′ve got to hold on to what you got, what you got
And it's all there
In the stories we′re about to read of a long time ago
And the modern day around
You let it show

You can see love deep in children's eyes
Feel love in the wind
You can reach the blessings of the innocence
On which we feed
You can count love in the atmosphere
Arisen from the source
You know the citizens of chance
Allow the citizens of choice
If you're born to be the story
Better not to be the course
