Dear Friend Lyrics

Cover art for Dear Friend lyrics by Stacie Orrico

To me this song goes deeper than just what is seen on the surface. This song to me is her best song in that it displays unconditional love that someone can have for another. It can be about a friend,parent,sibling,significant other.

Stacie notices her friend is acting different and is withdrawing from the world. She can sense that her friend is struggling with something beyond her control. She feels "helpless" that she can't help her friend.

She knows her friend has an beautiful and amazing soul. Whats sad about this song is that she knows her friend doesn't know that about herself and maybe never will.

"hoping joy is what you'll find" is a lyric that always touches me. Thats the meaning of unconditional love. Its selfless and genuinely wants the other to be happy.
