Only Friend - Valley Maker

When I think about the end

I think you are my only friend

When I think about this life

I think this is my only life

When I think about this world

I think this is my only world

We grew up in a Southern town

What was up was really down

What I found was really found

I think I met you underground

I think about when I was born

How she lost her eyes to see

They were prayin' hard to me

And I was born into belief

I was born not to see

Oh but I do

And I believe

That she was holdin' on for me

Livin' in a foreign land

Have you lost your eyes to see

Or have you found the garden tree

Well, if I stayed within your tree

I don’t know who I would be

Now my only friend

Do these good times ever end

When you’re livin' in this town?

That’s why I tried to move away

Now I see it upside down

You don’t know what you have found

Until you find what you have known

I see your colors and they glow

I see your colors and I know

I just want to stand close

Now my only light

Shine a little more my way

I’m growin' older every day

And I can’t say what I should say

I can’t mean what I should mean

What I see I do not see

What I mean to say

I cannot say

But I’mma try it anyway

Maybe I was born not to see

So how can I not believe?

When my mother lost her eyes for me

And yet she loved what I would be

I know not what I would be

But I love what I can’t see

And if it all just goes away

And if it all decides to stay

I believe my body ends

And I believe you are my friend

Until then, until then

My only friend

I take each day as it will end
