* Make new friends,

but keep the old.

One is silver,

the other is gold.

A circle is round,

it has no end.

That’s how long,

I will be your friend.

A fire burns bright,

it warms the heart.

We’ve been friends,

from the very start.

You have one hand,

I have the other.

Put them together,

We have each other.

Silver is precious,

Gold is too.

I am precious,

and so are you.

You help me,

and I’ll help you

and together

we will see it through.

The sky is blue

The Earth is green

I can help

to keep it clean

Across the land

Across the sea

Friends forever

We will always be
