According to Cool Dog Music, the lyrics of "A Thousand Miles to Find a Friend" come from the song Forever Friends, which was performed by Mao Amin and included in the album After the Golden Melody released by 1994. This song is written by Ren Wei and composed by Qing Liu. The lyrics express the treasure and blessing for friends.
Some of the lyrics are as follows: it is difficult to find a confidant thousands of miles away; Many friends make the road easy; Meeting in good faith is spiritual; Let's be friends from now on; As a friend, a thousand dollars is hard to buy; Many friends often stay in spring; Heart to heart; Let's be friends forever.
