Song for a friend

well you're magic he said
but don't let it all go to your head
cause i bet if you all had it all figured out
then you'd never get out of bed
well no doubt
of all the things that I've read what he wrote me
is now sounding like the man i was hoping
to be
I keep on keeping it real
cause it keeps getting easier he'll see
he's the reason that i'm laughing
even if there's no one else
he said you've got to love, yourself

he said you shouldn't mumble when you speak
but keep your tongue up in your cheek
and if you stumble on to something better
remember that it's humble that you seek
you've got all the skill you need,
individuality
you've got something
call it gumption
call it anything you want
because when you play the fool now
you're only fooling everyone else
you're learning to love, yourself

yes you are...
yes you...you...you

and there's no price to pay
when you give and what you take,
that's why it's easy to thank you
you...you
you...you...you

let's say take a break from our day
and gettin back to the old garage
because life's too short anyway
but at least it's better than average
as long as you got me
and i got you
you know we got a lot to go around
i'll be your friend
your other brother
another love to come and comfort you
and i'll keep reminding
if it's the only thing i ever do
i will always love you
you...you...you
you...
It's true I love it's true
It's you I love it's you I love it's you it's you I love
It's true I love it's true I love it's true it's you I love
It's you I love it's you I love it's you it's you I love you I do
It's you I love
It's you I love it's you I love it's you it's you I love
It's true I love it's true I love it's true it's you I love
It's you I love it's you I love it's you it's you I love you I do
I'm in love in love in love
I'm in love in love in love
It's you I love its you
It's you I love I love I love
It's you I love I love I love
It's you I love I love I love Oh...

climb up over the top
survey the state of the soul
you've got to find out for yourself
whether or not you're truly tryin
why not give it a shot
shake it take control
inevitably wind up
findin for yourself all the strengths
you have inside still risin'
