Yes – Friend Of A Friend lyrics
You found folks treat you right
As long as you let them know
You've been ready to defend their right
Through doors 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 'em on your toes
If you leave you are a friend of all
Those friendships heaven knows

But there comes a time when your testimony
Will crumble like a rose
Let's have no pretense

It's over
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 believe the sprirt just

And it's all there
Frienships can never be forgotten
In the end years
You've got to hold on to what you've got
What you've got

And it's all there
In the stories
We're about to read of a long time ago
In the modern day around
You let it show

You can see love deep in children's eyes
Feel 'em in the wind
You can reach the blessings of the
Innocence on which we meet
You can guide love in the atomosphere
Arising from the source
You know the citizen of chance is
Another citizen of choice

If you're mortal, be detroyed
Then immortal be the course
