Friend

(앨범: RWBY, Vol. 8 - 2021)

Darkness like midnight
Moonless, there's no light
Another lonely day is ending
Searching forever
Waiting but never finding
The only thing I dream of
The warmth of a smile
That stays for awhile
The face of a friend that won't leave

I heard a song once
It posed this point of view
That wishes made on stars
Are likely to come true
So here's my secret
At bedtime every night
I searched the sky and hoped to find a star who'd send a light

To me
The one thing I need
Just one kind soul with a heart of gold
And my dreams became real and I finally feel not alone
Do hugs always make you feel this warm?

My wish came true
The day that you appeared and called me friend
An answered prayer
A chance to share the world
To be a girl
Who finally felt alive

I'm so excited
We'll do so many friendship things
Paint our nails, try on clothes, talk about cute boys
Attached, but not by strings
And when you've got problems
Woah, then I've got problems too
You'll never face this world alone
I'll be right here

It's you and me
Protectors of each other's what we'll be
You saw my soul through the nuts and bolts
You're the friend I can trust
Helped me see I'm not just a machine
And is this what "all the feels" means?

I've been combat-ready since the day Dad made me
Now I'll fight for something more
Might sound wholesome, but strangely
I've got friends I'm fighting for
But I found that humanity
It came with sacrifice, a pact
To shield you from the wicked
Even if I can't live for real
It was worth it to know you

My wish came true
The day that you appeared and called me friend
An answered prayer
A chance to share the world
To be a girl
Who finally felt alive
