Well, you're my friend
And can you see
Many times we've been out drinking
And many times we've shared our thoughts
But did you ever, ever notice
The kind of thoughts I've got
Well, you know I have a love
A love for everyone I know
And you know I have a drive
To live, I won't let go
And you know I have a drive

But can you see this opposition
Comes rising up sometimes
That it's thoughtful imposition
Comes blackening my mind
And then I see
It's not the end of the sword

Darkness, oh no, I see a darkness
And then I see a darkness
Oh no, I see a darkness
Don't you know how much I love you?
There's a hope that someday you
Can save me from this darkness
Well, I hope that someday, buddy
We'll have peace in our lives
Together or apart
Alone or with our wives
And we can stop our hurting
And spread the smiles inside
And light it up

And light it up forever
And never go to sleep
My best unbeaten brother
This isn't all I see
This isn't all I see
Oh no, I see a darkness
And then I see a darkness
Oh no, I see a darkness
And then I see a darkness
Oh, then I see a darkness
Did you know how much I love you?
There's a hope that somehow you
Can save me from this darkness
Oh, from this darkness
Did you know how much I love you?
There's a hope that someday you
Can save me from this darkness
Somehow you can save me
From this darkness
