TOMODACHI by Thomas Lipschultz 12/21/97 The tenor is too high And the bass is much too low, Coiled by the fire Of a long-forgotten snow, Combine the voices That they sing, Deep and high And everything, And let the joy of Carols ring, That's the way to go. Tomodachi there you are, Never going very far, Let our voices mix and sing, Deep and high and everything. Come tenor by my side And bass around behind, Come alto to my front And soprano to remind, How our voices mix In harmony, Friends forever Come to me, All year long we Sing of thee, O glory of mankind. Tomodachi there you are, Never going very far, Let our voices mix this day, And echo places far away.
