Will You Be My Friend – Ryan Amador (feat. Julia Harriman)
By
We’re a mother at a funeral We’re a child at the cross We’re a worker with the food stamp We’re a poet with an empty cost
We’re a surgeon at the table We’re a drinker with the bends We’re a black man in an all white town And We’re getting lost in the same trends
So will you be my friend? Will you be my friend? Will you be my friend? Cause alone is only us we lose again
We’re the chicken at the egg farm We’re the waitress at the club We’re the trees we like to climb down We’re the climate and we’re heating up
We’re the people at the party We’re the fans who catch the ball We’re the immigrants from which we’re all born And We’re the planners who can’t find a resolve
So will you be my friend? Will you be my friend? Will you be my friend? Cause alone is only us we lose again Cause alone is only us we lose again Cause alone is only us
We’re the soldier on his last breath We’re the refugee at sea We’re the widow that the bombs left We’re the queer child looking up at me
We’re the pedals of the lily We’re the ripples of the marsh We’re the atoms up in Saturn We’re the song playing in the stars
So will you be my friend? Will you be my friend? Will you be my friend? Cause alone is only us we lose again
