I saw a friend I knew a while ago
I couldn't remember his name
But that didn't matter much anyways
Because our friendship stayed the same

He took my hand and showed me around
Took me to familiar places
We laughed and we cried
Remembering older face

The light is out
But the flame will burn forever
The song is finished
But the melody lingers on
We pray
The smiles won't turn over
And the sunlight
Will never be gone

Under the sky when the nights are cold
And memories aren't yet complete
I take one last look at freedom
Before reaching the end of the street

When I've grown tired of chasing after the wind
I realize how much time has passed me by
There's always something that I missed
Friends, dreams, and lovers flying high

The light is out
But the flame will burn forever
The song is finished
But the melody lingers on
We pray
The smiles won't turn over
And the sunlight
Will never be gone

Winter comes and goes every year
Spring has passed in the blink of an eye
Summer left us just too soon
And fall has said goodbye

The light is out
But the flame will burn forever
The song is finished
But the melody lingers on
We pray
The smiles won't turn over
And the sunlight
Will never be gone

So this was another song I wrote the fabulous songwriter, ShadowhunterOfAthena and surprisingly, for some reason, the title was the hardest thing coming up with. And so we settled on 18 Prayers and I won't get into the meaning of that, so yeah. Another great song we wrote together. Awesome! :)
