Laurie Maitland - Somebody Else's Friend [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

A friend is like finding a treasure
Like discovering a seashell along the shore
And they fill the emptiness of the heart with happiness galore!
A friend is considered extra-special;
Someone who's loyal and cares
When our heart seems to be breaking
And life's cupboards are empty and bare

They hold out a hand and hold on
Even if distance separates and sends away
For there's a warmth that ever lingers between true friends
In every country and every culture it forever stays

When crocodiles and snakes eat you up alive
Or your body's been beaten up black-and-blue
Been bruised, broken and battered
Leaving your vision and memory physically impaired
Just look into the magic mirror
And you will see somebody new
Who can pick up the pieces of your broken heart that can mend

Chorus:
From the day you were born, you hold a special place in my heart
You've been my treasure, my pride and joy, my destiny
And most of all you are love
Wherever life takes you, you'll always be somebody else's friend
Pity like Humpty Dumpty the hero takes a fall
And with every passing day all the king's men and horses
Will never again put him back together the way he used to be
When there's no one there to help lift him up
But two are better than one
Because they for their labor have a good return
If anyone falls to pieces
The One who can raise him up is somebody else's friend

Friendship is sacrificing for another who's precious to you
It's offering a small portion of yourself
"Cause your heart tells you the right thing to do
A friend is a smile, a cheer or two
Someone who listens with love
You know you've discovered a friend nearby
When it feels as if an angel was sent from above

Friendship is so special and I believe it was created on earth
To reveal that all are precious it brings out true values and worth

When you're caught in a hit-and-run since you tripped on a rocky road
And you have a feeling you suffer from a chip on your shoulder
Wondering if there's a neighbor who's always there for you in time of need
Just look into the magic mirror
And you will see somebody else's friend who can bring hope to an empty shell

Repeat Chorus
