All my friends They all live in pain Longing for the warmth of childhood to bring them home again All my friends They got broken hearts And if the world's a stage we're searching for our parts We'll face the winds that break the strongest of trees Beckon for the sweet soft summer breeze All my friends They got broken wings Never will you hear them asking why the caged bird sings All my friends They know how to live Oh, so much sorrow and so much love to give We'll face the winds that break the strongest of trees Beckon for the sweet soft summer breeze Now we all know that the storm is coming Every body wants to know which way to go I see the crowds a running The wind's gonna blow All my friends are dear to me Oh when the storm comes they're as close as family All my friends are the ones I choose Oh, if I hear them knockin' You know I can't refuse We'll face the winds that break the strongest of trees Beckon for the sweet soft summer breeze All my friends
