Amici Per Sempre

We can be friends forever,
even when life changes us,
separates us, and puts us against each other.
We can be friends forever,
even when the parties end
and the magic fades away.
We might even come to blows,
then split the last few bucks,
not talk anymore, but never forget.
Friends open our eyes,
understand us better than we do
and hold up mirrors to us
even when we don’t want them to.
Whether champions of the world or in a sea of trouble,
for friends, you stay who you are,
it’ll be the pack that comes to save you if you get lost.
You can raise barriers, argue with God,
change families and cities,
tear up photos and roots, but among friends
there’s never a goodbye.
We can be friends forever,
even when the girls don’t want to
and you have to make choices to live.
In love, you’re either in or out,
a friend lets you live too,
doesn’t discredit you, doesn’t seek revenge.
Friends hit hard,
not even a mother is like that,
without the one who slammed me against the wall,
maybe I wouldn’t be here.
Whether champions of the world or in a sea of trouble,
for friends, you stay who you are,
it’ll be the pack that comes to save you if you get lost.
You can raise barriers, argue with God,
change families and cities,
tear up photos and roots, but among friends
there’s never a goodbye.
We can be friends forever.
