Friend

[Intro: Casey Lee Williams]
Darkness like midnight
Moonless, there's no light
Another lonely day is ending
Searching forever
Waiting but never finding
The only thing I dream of
The warmth of a smile
That stays for a while
The face of a friend that won't leave

[Verse 1: Casey Lee Williams]
I heard a song once
It posed this point of view
That wishes made on stars
Are likely to come true
So here's my secret
At bedtime every night
I searched the sky and hoped to find
A star who'd send a light

[Pre-Chorus: Casey Lee Williams]
To me
The one thing I need
Just one kind soul with a heart of gold
Then my dreams became real and I finally feel not alone
Do hugs always make you feel this warm?

[Chorus: Casey Lee Williams]
My wish came true
The day that you appeared
And called me "friend"
An answered prayer
A chance to share the world
To be a girl who finally felt alive

[Post-Chorus: Casey Lee Williams & Jeff Williams]
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)

[Verse 2: Casey Lee Williams]
I'm so excited
We'll do so many friendship things
Paint our nails, try on clothes, talk about cute boys
Attached, but not by strings
And when you've got problems
Whoa, then I've got problems too
You'll never face this world alone
I'll be right here, it's you

[Pre-Chorus: Casey Lee Williams]
And me
Protectors of each other's what we'll be
You saw my soul through the nuts and bolts
You're the friend I can trust, helped me see I'm not just a machine
And is this what "all the feels" means?

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge: Casey Lee Williams, Jeff Williams]
I been combat-ready since the day Dad made me
Now I'll fight for something more
Might sound wholesome, but strangely
I've got friends I'm fighting for (Fighting for)
But I found that
Humanity, it came with sacrifice
A pact to shield you from the wicked
Even if I can't
Live for real, it was worth it to know you

[Chorus: Casey Lee Williams]
My wish came true
The day that you appeared
And called me "friend"
An answered prayer
A chance to share the world
To be a girl who finally felt alive
