The outside isn't always what it seems to be,
you can't always think about what you see.
It might only be 25 cents,
and it might not make much sense,
but the meaning is so much more.
It's all about what this ring stands for.
This is a ugly hunk of junk, you might say,
but don't just throw this away.
This is a promise ring from me to you,
just so you knew,
together as friends we stand.
Against the world hand in hand.
Someone will always be there,
to hold your hand, with a joke to share.
Don't ever wonder where your friends are,
they will never be too far.
For a promise you hold,
and a promise you told.
Together,
friends forever.
This is to you, from me.
I just wanted to let you see.
How we must be,
together, forever.
I want to take your hand,
but I don't know if can.
For I feel so different inside,
but don't let me run and hide.
Take my heart,
for I never want to be apart.
Cause when I look at you,
I feel like I'm brand new.
I want to share our dreams,
I want to work as a team.
Please I'm down on my knees,
open your eyes and look at me.
For I am really who?
I want to see you too.
I need to show you, I care.
We can be a lovely pair.
Do we belong?
Or are you just going along?
How do you feel?
Do I not appeal?
Or do I have this all wrong?
I hoped this might be true for too long.
I wanted to tell,
that in love I fell.
This is me,
can't you see?
Back in the day,
where all you did was run and play.
I miss napping on my carpet square.
I miss not having any cares.
Life back then, was all about fun,
going out and sitting in the sun.
I miss the good moments we had,
for only a second you'd be mad.
No worries or problems or fears,
no broken hearts, no sad tears.
I want to go back to third grade,
but now all those moments will fade.
For a new life we have started,
and our old lives have parted.
On, we must go,
with life as we know.
To new experiences, and new dreams.
Impossible it all seems,
but we will all survive and deal.
This new life is starting to appeal,
life as we know is about to change.
Everything now is going to rearrage.
This life might be hard at first,
but everything could be worse.
Hold on to hope,
I'll have to cope.
I've come this far,
and now it's time to shine like a star.
