Story Behind The Song
My son had a friend who committed suicide at age 18 while she was in her senior year in high school. I felt that if there were someone who stepped in and provided an ear and some consistent support, then things may have been different. But ultimately, it's patience and love that help people pull through those times.

Lyrics
I want to be your friend
I want to understand
I see you struggling
So please, let me in
Please, please, let me in
I want you to realize
That it's time to rise
I can see the void in your eyes
So please, let me in
Please, I want to be your friend
Light the way
Love today
Light the way
With love today
I want you to see me
But you're looking right through
At what point do you realize
That change begins the new
Change, yes change, starts with you
I want to be your friend
I want to understand
I feel your suffering
So please, let me in
Please, I want to be your friend
Please, please, let me in
Light the way
Love today
Light the way
With love today
