Lyrics

VERSE
From the carefree days of childhood to this new reality
From the good times we have enjoyed to perceptions of mortality
I don’t know how, but you have not changed

VERSE
While many people spend their lives searching for who they are
You always knew and never strayed very far
And for nothing was faith to be exchanged

PRE-CHORUS
Now as infirmity has come to you, and life may be near its end
You’re a sight to behold, good friend

CHORUS
I wish that I could be like you; so inspiring
You have the strength to see you through your darkest days
For you, life is broken in two, but here you are quietly admiring
Loving and courageous things other people do
You’re the same as always, good friend
And I wish that I could be like you

BRIDGE
Now maybe, just maybe, when we wish upon a star
Everything that you are will find its way to us

Repeat CHORUS/TAG
You’re the same as always, good friend
And I wish that I could be like you
