The Ballad of Friendship

1
Hooves hit the ground, the gallop roars,
The one who stays will sleep forevermore.
    (Among the fields, in dust and soil.)
Shoulder to shoulder, side by side we ride,
He won't leave me as long as he's astride.
    (Go on! Go on!)
     Pre-Chorus
           Fearless friend,
           we're together till the end.
           We've crossed half the world,
           The best half still unfurled.
        Bridge
               The road is life,
               the miles are days.
               Hold tight, hold tight—
               with you, I'm never lost in haze.
                Chorus
                Don't look behind,
                Just keep your eyes ahead.
                We won't forget what's been,
                But we will dream of what's ahead instead.
                The treasure isn't strapped to the saddle's side—
                The real gold is the fire deep inside.
                (Fire inside!)

And if we meet some trouble on the way,
We'll help each other stand another day.
   (We'll always help, we'll always stay.)
We'll reach our hands out, never let you fall—
Take my hand, I'll pull you through it all.
   (Hold on, you'll make it through!)
     Pre-Chorus
        Fearless friend,
        we'll be together to the end.
        We'll ride to the world's edge,
        Look down, then back—and pledge.
           Bridge
              The road is life,
              the miles are days.
              Hold tight, hold tight—
              with you, I'm never lost in haze.
                Chorus
                Don't look behind,
                Just keep your eyes ahead.
                We won't forget what's been,
                But we will dream of what's ahead instead.
                The treasure isn't strapped to the saddle's side—
                The real gold is the fire deep inside.
                (Fire inside!)

But what is this? Have you truly fallen low?
Your horse has broken its leg—no, no!
   (Shoot it down, put it out of its pain.)
What can we do? The water's far from here,
And Bolivar can't carry two, I fear.
   (Sorry, friend, your luck has disappeared.)
     Pre-Chorus
        Fearless friend,
        I thought we'd be together to the end.
        I thought so… but your horse gave way—
        Your luck ran out today.
           Bridge
              The road is life,
              the miles are days.
              Hold tight, hold tight—
              I say it to myself these days.
                Final Chorus
                Don't look behind,
                Just keep your eyes ahead.
                We'll leave behind what's been,
                And all our dreams are dead instead.
                The treasure turned out to be the saddle's load—
                When darkness fills the heart, you walk a lonely road.
                (Emptiness inside!)
