GURU

I used to want to be a guru
I used to want to be the one
I used to want to be a saviour
do the things that must be done
but I will never be a saviour
no I’m really not that strong
so I just want to be your friend
from now on

I used to want to be a hero
really thought that I could fly
I used to want to be the wise one
answer when you asked me why
but I will never be a wise man
no I’m really not that kind
but I just want to be a friend
if you don’t mind

When I was a little younger
I used to want to change the world
I used to want to be your lover
I always hoped you’d be my girl
but I have never been a lovert
I don’t do it vbery well
I just want to be your friend
I hope you can tell

Well I will never be a guru
and I will never be the one
I will never be the saviour
there’s too much growing to be done
but I’m making you a promise
and I’ll keep it ‘til the end
just give me a little time
I’m going to be your friend.
