Lovers and Friends
Would you be the best for your friend?
Would you treasure the spaces between?
When you ask for nothing but give in return,
And share you deepest concerns?

Because friends are our allies,
And our needs fulfilled,
Friends are our comfort and home.
When the silence between us,
And hungers unseen,
Are shared without cause or concern.

Chorus:
When your friend is your lover and your Lover is your friend.
When your friend is your lover and your Lover is your friend.

Would you be the best for your friend?
Would you melt and sing to the night?
When you pain and shame is shared without cause,
Like the dawn arising again?

For Love is the anvil upon which we are forged,
Love is the fires endured.
For when we’re laid bare,
And shaken with fear,
Only then can our wings unfold.

Chorus

Oh we come here to bless this union,
Of hearts, and of minds, and of souls.
And we gather together in joy and in song,
This binding of lovers reborn.

Chorus
