If I had to pick but one thing
To take across the sea
I think I'd pick a good friend
To go along with me
A friend is more precious
Than any material thing
She can make you feel complete
And get your soul to sing
And when that friend and I
Set sail across that sea
We'll fear no squall nor storm
Together strong we'll be
A friend is more grounding
Than an anchor or a rope
He can make you safe, secure
And fill your heart with hope
When I've crossed that sprawling sea
And stepped out on new land
I will not be a stranger there
I'll have my friend in hand
A friend is more rewarding
Than the treasures of that sea
She can give you wealth through love
Your spirit rich and free
If I had to pick but one thing
To take across the sea
I know I'd pick a good friend
To go along with me
Across the
