Dear Friend
Union Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Dear friend the day you left me
I don't why
and your life was way too precious
you touched the sky
Dear friend I know you'll hear me
If I close my eyes
And when I dream about you
"I will always be alive" (be alive)
And if I feel you near me
I will realize (realize)
You'll answer all the questions
From the other side

Lay hands on...lay hands on...lay hands on me
If you want...if you need...you can lay your hands on me
If you want...if you need...you can keep your faith in me

We saw the world together
Traveled many miles
And you left the stage with laughter
I'll always be alive (be alive)

And if I hear your thunder
I will realize (realize)
The voices make me wonder
How we lived our lives





In the story of your life
So much bigger than the fight
