'FRIENDS IN KIND PLACES'

I could live to be a thousand years old
I could die tomorrow with my story untold
I've tried to light the fire in my bones
By reachin' out for a place I call home

Oh Lord I can't hold on
Without the love I need to feel
On the path that I roam
Oh how hard is this stone
The bricks I build around me
While the journey goes on

Once upon a lifetime
A good heart comes your way
And you won't recognise them by the things that they say
And you won't need to notice the colour of their skin
Somethin' deeper touches
The place that you're in

Oh friends in kind places
They get you through
All the empty spaces
Friends in kind places
A million to one
One in a million faces

I've heard it only takes one at a time
One to make a difference, one to lead the blind
One and one is two and then there's you
Well I didn't see you comin' until you got me through

Every day is precious
Even hurt is borrowed life
And darkness is a kingdom that you follow through the light
We don't have forever, all we have is now
Trust and our forgiveness is hallowed as the ground

Once upon a lifetime
A good heart comes your way
And you won't recognise them by the things that they say
You won't need to notice the colour of their skin
Somethin' deeper touches
The place that you're in

Friends in kind places
They get you through
All the empty spaces
Friends in kind places
A million to one
One in a million...
Friends in kind places
They get you through
All the empty spaces
Friends in kind places
Oh a million to one
And one in a million faces

I'll be your friend
Oh I will be your friend
I'll be your friend... (sung by Marybeth Daines)
