When you come together with a group of people That you've never seen before There lies the subtle fear that you might have to open the door To an opportunity of letting someone get to know you To an opportunity of letting someone try to show you (chorus) A friend is like a flower They bloom out over time The rain makes them grow with every shower And the sunlight makes them shine People come and people go to places far away But the people that I like the most Are the ones who know how to stay There may be two thousand miles Between our living space But there's twice that many smiles for them On my heart felt face (chorus) I'm not good with good-byes Or feeling wetness in my eyes But I believe that when we leave We'll all be in the sky There's a home for each of us Where our life begins When we arrive completely alive And realize everyone can win
