lyrics

“Notes from a Friend”
by Kate Howard

Buy a suitcase
Not too big
Or too small
Not too heavy

Make your own place
Don’t give a fig
Just give your all
You’re so ready

It’s a jungle
Be prepared
You will stumble
You’ll get scared

You might get scarred
You’ll have bad days
But you’ll go far
You’re on your way

Take care of yourself
You can’t be too safe
Always ask for help
And pray, pray for grace

Make sure you have fun along the way
When you’re down, trust that it’s a phase
And phases pass
Life will be a gas
Again

Be a good friend
Don’t sell your soul
Trust your instincts
You are your home

Buy a suitcase
Make your own place
Buy a suitcase
And pray, pray for grace.
