### Verse 1
We rush along, losing days and years,
In life's great race, where each one fights alone.
We tend to forget that all the trophies, all the cheers,
Are worthless without a word that saves your soul.
### Chorus:
Don't betray, don't betray those real and honest friends.
The ones who stood with you in sorrow and in pain,
And walked with you through sunshine, happy days again.
Don't betray, don't betray,
For life is but a fragile sheet of ice!
Where faithfulness is shore, and love — a line.
And friendship is a gift for all mankind!
Cherish those who bared their soul to you!
Who reached a hand out when the skies were blue!
Who believed in you when the whole world fell apart,
And with you started walking, hand in hand, from the start.
### Verse 2
Sometimes life strikes hard, it shows no mercy,
It seems there's no way out, no light ahead.
But if there's someone there to share your journey,
The fear will vanish, and the darkness will be shed.
### Chorus:
Don't betray, don't betray those real and honest friends.
The ones who stood with you in sorrow and in pain,
And walked with you through sunshine, happy days again.
Don't betray, don't betray,
For life is but a fragile sheet of ice!
Where faithfulness is shore, and love — a line.
And friendship is a gift for all mankind!
Cherish those who bared their soul to you!
Who reached a hand out when the skies were blue!
Who believed in you when the whole world fell apart,
And with you started walking, hand in hand, from the start.
### Verse 3
And though the years fly by, relentless, fast,
Changing everything that once we used to know.
Just keep within your heart the things that last,
That friendship and true love have made to grow.
### Chorus:
Don't betray, don't betray those real and honest friends.
The ones who stood with you in sorrow and in pain,
And walked with you through sunshine, happy days again.
Don't betray, don't betray,
For life is but a fragile sheet of ice!
Where faithfulness is shore, and love — a line.
And friendship is a gift for all mankind!
Cherish those who bared their soul to you!
Who reached a hand out when the skies were blue!
Who believed in you when the whole world fell apart,
And with you started walking, hand in hand, from the start.
