Fate brought me to your side on that cold dark night
as you lay bleeding on the icy ground
to weak to stand or call for help
I nearly walked past you

 Fate let me hear you over cars racing past
no one knew you were there
 your life draining away, alone and scared

For years I took another path home, but not that day

Fate brought another along when my cell phone went dead
we called an ambulance and worked together to keep you alive

He held my hand as I held yours and we three waited
each praying silently on that cold dark street 

Fate brought help in time to save you
many worked tireless to bring you back
You are now our dearest friend
and he is my soul mate
