Song for a Friend

Sep 05, 2010 13:17

"Song for a Friend" is a beautiful song written by Jason Mraz and in light of everything that's been going on between KAT-TUN and Jin I think the kind of message the song sends is quite appropriate. Despite what they may say in public, who knows what they truly feel about the situation, but I do sincerely hope they continue to support one another in their future endeavors.

Song for a Friend by Jason Mraz

Well, you’re magic, he said
But don’t let it all go to your head
'Cause, bet if you all had it all figured it out
Then you’d never get out of bed

No doubt
Of all the things that I’ve read what he wrote me
Is now sounding like the man I was hoping to be
Keep it keeping it real
‘Cause it keeps getting easier he'll see

He’s the reason that I’m laughing
Even if there’s no one else
He said, you’ve got to love yourself

He said, you shouldn’t mumble when you speak
But keep your tongue up in your cheek
And if you stumble on to something better
Remember that it’s humble that you seek

You got all the skill you need, individuality
You got something, call it gumption
Call it anything you want
Because when you play the fool now
You’re only fooling everyone else
You’re learning to love yourself

There’s no price to pay
When you give and what you take
That’s why it’s easy to thank you

Let’s say to a break from the day and get back to the old garage
Because life’s too short anyway but at least it’s better than average
As long as you got me and I got you
You know, we got a lot to go around
I’ll be your friend, your other brother
Another love to come and comfort you
And I’ll keep reminding if it’s the only thing I ever do
I will always love you

*(Hold your own
Know your own name
Go your own way)

Climb up, over the top
Survey the state of the soul
You’ve got to find out for yourself
Whether or not you’re truly trying
Why not, give it a shot
Shake it, take control
Inevitably wind up, finding for yourself
All the strengths that you have inside still rising

Climb up, over the top
Survey the state of the soul
You’ve got to find out for yourself
Whether or not you’re truly trying
Why not, give it a shot
Shake it, take control
Inevitably wind up, finding for yourself
All the strengths that you have inside of you

*Some live versions of the song have a verse from one of his other songs, "Details in the Fabric", and since I think it fits well I decided to throw in those lyrics as well.

I would have liked to make a fan video with this song playing in the background but I don't really have time to learn how to do it at this point.
