five thousand letters I Keep in my bedroom
five thousand people who open their hearts
once they were strangers today we are family
mountains won't keep us apart

there is a girl who has drawn me a sunrise
that's how she wants every morning to be
a boy lost his tooth and he wants me to have it
how did this happen to me

i want to know all their faces
and i want to be there when they need a friend
five thousand letters they wrote me
and someday i'll read them again
five thousand stories i keep in my bedroom
five thousand secrets i keep in my mind
i have been given a piece of their lifetime
friendship is easy to find

i want to know all their faces
and i want to be there when they need a friend
five thousand letters they wrote me
and someday i'll read them again

i want to know all their faces
and i want to be there when they need a friend
five thousand letters they wrote me
and someday i'll read them again
