Out Of Eden Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Some say that friendship should be a life time thing
A time that turns the seasons, builds trust & gives us strength
A friend's a friend forever, untill the end of time
Throught the good & the bad, a friend will be by your side, yeah
CHORUS:
If you're looking for a friend
Not just for the moment, but throughout eternity
If you're looking for a friend
You can always count on me
And not just for the moment, but throught all eternity
A friend is one who listens, always there for you
A yes when there's a no, a don't when they say do
Someone who'll forgive you, & never turn away
Arms of love that won't let go when you are afraid
CHORUS
BRIDGE:
And if the sun don't rise tomorrow
And the world never turns again
My heart will never feel no sorrow
For I know that always the Lord is there
If you're looking for a friend
You found a friend in me
I will be your friend, Till eternity
[ CHORUS OUT ]
The song "A Friend" by Out of Eden emphasizes the value of true friendship. It suggests that friendship should be a lifelong relationship that provides trust, support, and strength. A friend is someone who will stand by your side through thick and thin, in good times and in bad. The chorus repeats the phrase, "If you're looking for a friend, you found a friend in me," reassuring the listener that the singer is there for them not just for the moment, but for all eternity. A true friend is one who listens, supports, forgives, and loves unconditionally.
The song highlights the importance of faith and trust in God, as depicted in the bridge. It suggests that even if everything else fails, and the world turns upside down, God's presence will always be a source of comfort and hope. The length and durability of friendship are essential themes in the song. The phrase "A friend's a friend forever, until the end of time" emphasizes the eternity of genuine friendship, while the line "not just for the moment, but throughout eternity" repeats the idea that true friendship lasts forever. The song's message could be interpreted as an appeal to prioritize meaningful relationships over transitory ones and to cherish those who stand by us.
