From the recording Eclipse of the Mind
Lyrics
"Friends"
( Lyrics: M. Novak, C. Webster - Music: M. Novak)
When the beast comes and you’re all alone
Your mind is eclipsed with worry and doubt
Time is halted by the darkness unknown
Our gray thoughts hold us captive can’t be cast out
Emotions vanquish us eclipse our control
Our eyes become blinded we only see within
At the start of the journey we can’t be consoled
Searching for a way out of this tailspin
CHORUS:
Friends are a lifeboat in this sea of madness
Friends are essential in this battle of living
The light of friends removes the sadness
Thank your friends for what they are giving
How many people will really reach out
To comfort and help in your time of need
To give you support so you don’t dropout
There are many things needed to succeed
We need to be open to offers of support
Some friends have walked on the path you are on
Welcome their offers to be an escort
It will make you a knight and not a pawn
CHORUS:
Family and friends can soothe your mind
Doctors and nurses battle the beast
Each offers aid and its all intertwined
In the end the eclipse is released
CHORUS:
