Letter to a Friend - Shelter

We were friends since school

The punks were never cool

But we didn’t care anyway

And even in the scene

When it was cool to be mean

We walked the other way

Rebels from birth this world had no worth

But then you went astray one day

And I don’t think it’s right

That you gave up the fight

And walked away;

you ran away

We could have made that change

We could have set this world, this world on fire

What happened to your desire?

How did you think that I would feel?

Didn’t you think I was for real?

I know it’s been so long since then

But It’s time I sent this letter to my friend

We had dreams and schemes

That they laughed about

But we didn’t care anyway

I feel hurt and confused

When I think of you

Where do you stand my friend is it too late?

We stayed up all night and talked about life

We seemed so sober those days

We stood side by side

And I don’t know why you threw it away

What can you say?

We could have made that change

We could have set this world, this world on fire

What happened to your desire?

How did you think that I would feel?

Didn’t you think I was for real?

I know it’s been so long since then

But It’s time I sent this letter to my friend

Well I’m gonna make that change

I’m gonna set this world, this world on fire

Who cares about your pretty desires
