FriendsÂÂ
Music by Elton John
Lyrics by Bernie Taupin
Available on the soundtrack Friends
I hope the day will be a lighter highway
For friends are found on every road
Can you ever think of any better way
For the lost and weary travellers to go
Making friends for the world to see
Let the people know you got what you need
With a friend at hand you will see the light
If your friends are there then everything's all right
It seems to me a crime that we should age
These fragile times should never slip us by
A time you never can or shall erase
As friends together watch their childhood fly
We recommend: The One
How much more can I take they don't realize their mistake
For these chains and shackles barred on me
A condemned man but why they're all deaf to my cry
And choose to end my life discreetly
All of the facts aren't clear my terrible fate grows near
Decision of the highest court to the gallows or the chair
The laws choice so unfair my sanity's mend is torn apart
A man's life has faded away so this great price I'll pay
For I have been cast out
Self defense is my plight to judge my way as right
To rid my guilt and fight my way no time left I must escape
For these chains and shackles barred on me
A condemned man but why they're all deaf to my cry
And choose to end my life discreetly
All of the facts aren't clear my terrible fate grows near
Decision of the highest court to the gallows or the chair
The laws choice so unfair my sanity's mend is torn apart
A man's life has faded away so this great price I'll pay
For I have been cast out
Self defense is my plight to judge my way as right
To rid my guilt and fight my way no time left I must escape
