Lyrics Will You Be My Friend - Ryan Amador , Julia Harriman

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
& 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
& 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
