Friends are the ones who stick by your side Through thick and thin, they're your ride or die They make you laugh when you want to cry And lift you up when you're feeling shy Through all of life's ups and downs They're the ones who erase your frowns With them, you feel safe and sound In their company, your heart is bound They know your secrets, your deepest fears And they wipe away your happy tears They accept you for who you are And never judge, no matter how bizarre With friends, you can be silly and free They bring out the best in you, you'll see They're the ones who make life worth living And give you strength when you feel like giving So here's to friends, the ones we hold dear They make our days brighter and clear With them, we can conquer anything For they are the truest form of everything.
