Come close, friend Do you remember me?Take another look Peer deep into my eyes See how they smile at you We went to school togetherWe battled in class for the top spot You were always good to me Full of furious daring To be fire tempered and glory raged It's up to us now We carry authority now Let us use it well Remember the oneness we once knew We were children together, that's all But it's everything So many precious formative moments We shared when we didn't yet know How irreplaceable they were Let us not forget one another Nor the love we have had for each other Stir up your wandering child Let him scream and weep If that's what is takes To really be free Let her out to play with me Get ready to dance I'll be coming soon Let's let God use us To usher in his Kingdom Where we grew up In the City of Gold My heart is open to you You are the friend of my youth And I will not forget you You are precious to my heart Though I left you I love you still Stephen Pursell, original: 7/10/02, revised: 9/11/14 | ![]() ![]() |
