best friend


                                              my best friend 
                                                           has to go
                                                but his heart will surely stay
                                                 in the small and simple room
                                                                                
       by the wall.
   
                                            they will come and take his things…
                                               his bible and his books,
                                                his towels and his clothes,
                                                               but
                                                      they can't take his heart
                                                         cause it will surely
      stay.
                                            it will stay forever
                                                  in the room
                                                     and in the hall,
                                                 in the chants
                                                      and the prayers
                                                that echo 
                                                               off the walls.
                                            they think that they can move him
                                                     and they have
                                                                and they will,
                                             but a heart is elusive
                                                   and chooses where it wills.
                                             my best friend
                                                       is leaving
                                                   but his heart is in my hand
                                                      i'll not let them touch it

                                                                 in the room 
                                                                                
          by the wall.
