My friend, please don’t cry those silent tears
that I can’t wipe away;
don’t get lost in the dark alleys of your fears,
let me help you find your way.
My friend, don’t let the wounds of your past
scar your future or your today;
don’t give up on your dreams so fast,
no matter what others may say.
Dance, my friend, for the music still plays,
in its many secret, enchanting ways;
laugh, for life is but a fleeting moment,
in which no pain forever stays.
