His trials now are over no more crosses to bear

No more excuses bout the way he wears his hair

They try to tell me he's free now and his mem'ry will live on

Well if dying sets you free he's free but to me he's just gone

Cause he is no Jesus he will not rise again

Three days after we lay him down cause life's all over for him

There'll be no more tomorrows no happiness and sorrows no hellos or goodbyes

Cause he is no Jesus just a friend of mine



We didn't always understand each other but at least we always tried

We just heard different drummers and sometimes the drummer lied

We were gonna be friends forever but forever is not a very long time

Cause he is no Jesus just a friend of mine

Cause he is no Jesus...

No mother's love no best friend's cry can wake him up to say goodbye

Cause he he is no Jesus just a friend of mine
