We met in seventh grade in History.
  Then just another one
  Friendship was a few years to come
  But I knew who you were.
  I knew what you stood for
  That much we had in common, but you had so much more
  And I saw a joy in you I did not see in me
  You were a light for all to see
    Graduation came we moved to L.A.
  (it was) so good to know a face,
  A friend I didn't have to make
  Those long drives home to Santa Cruz.
  I grew so close to you,
  Friends from then on through life.
  Such a short length of time
  Left here with thoughts of you that still inspire me
  To be a light for all to see
    And one day we will be together in our final goal in the presence of He,
  The one that made us be, the one you served,
  the one that your light helped us all to see
    You're life was a picture of how I want to be
