[bad word] 
I was like you and yes you were like me

We were so much alike but unique as can be

Friends till the end and we were quite the right team

Like those two men Aristotle and Averroes

Verse 1

It was a cold evening near the end of the fall

That we made our acquaintance for nothing at all

But [bad word] interest to make melodies

And little did we know that fine friends we would be

At first you spoke little and I said a lot

But in time you would [bad word] me with depth of your thought

And though we were only young men at the time

We had souls of the ancients but the youth left to climb

Verse 2

I was walking down the road many took

Studied all the classics learned all the greats books

But I listened to the inspiration inside of me

And expected the least but had the courage to see

There was a time when the world didn’t know

The way you could make a song from just a few notes

But never did you imagine never did I

That with difference and some brilliance [bad word] back to life
