Ride the wind - surf the waves,
Parachute the skies of blue.
Smile a smile and take a breath,
Enjoy this something new.
Don't worry about the outcome,
Things will always find a way.
For whatever tomorrow brings,
We've always had today.
I won't cry those tears,
That well up in my eyes.
My lips won't tremble,
When we say our last good-byes.
I'll wave to you while deep inside,
The pain and fear remain.
Knowing that in this life -
We'll not pass this way again.
Our friendship, it will last forever,
Even through the miles.
With our memories holding on,
To happy times with smiles.
So - ride the wind - surf the waves,
Parachute the skies of blue.
Smile a smile and take a breath,
Enjoy this something new.
Don't worry about the outcome,
Things will always find a way.
For whatever tomorrow brings,
We've always had today.
