Friends Are Forever
(written by Billy Little) 10th January 2009
My mind is wandering back
To when we were boys
All through our childhood
We shared our toys
We grew up together
Never were we apart
We were like twins
Sharing the same heart
When we left school
We shared the same job
We enlisted in the army
We joined the same mob
We trained side by side
We went through the pain
We grew from boys to men
We would never be the same
Then off to Northern Ireland
Like the three tours before
To protect the vulnerable people
From this mindless civil war
Patrolling the streets of Belfast
Or the countryside of Armagh
We were protecting each other
Never ever straying too far
I still remember that morning
It`s implanted in my mind
How did I miss that wire
Why, oh why was I blind
Now after all these years
Each one comes and goes
Never will I forget you
As on your grave I place a rose
