In Love with a Friend
for Diane and Mary

by g.l. bass

Before you even begin the journey
Your heart knows the end,
Truth is a winding road
With many twists and bends,
Should your way become unclear,
Should finding what is right

be too much to bear,
Trust in the love of a friend.

Before you even begin the journey,
Your heart knows the end,
Right sometimes is wrong,
And wrong sometimes is right,
Trusting in dreams
Can lead you deep into night.
Awakening to a morning that's bright
Means trusting in the things
You know love you,
Rather than what you think
you love,
Before the journey even begins
Trust in the love of a friend.

In the end,
You always have
To decide,
Cross the bridge,
Turn back,
Let faith be
Your guide?

It doesn't matter
How long the bridge,
Or how wide,

It's how much
Heart you have
To take
The First Stride.
In the end,
Trust in the love
Of a friend.

In the end,
You always have
To decide,
Cross the bridge, turn back
Stay awhile.

It doesn't matter
How long the bridge,
Or how wide,
It's how much
Heart you have to take
The first stride.
