WHEN YOU NEED SOMEONE TO TALK TO
BUT YOU HAVE NO WHERE TO TURN
YOU HAVE BUMPS ALONG THE ROAD
AND MANY LESSONS TO LEARN
WHEN YOU'RE CRYIN' OUT FOR LOVE
AND THERE'S NO ONE TO GIVE IT
AND YOU WONDER IF LIFE
IS REALLY WORTH LIVING
DEPRESSION SETS IN
AS YOUR FAITH GROWS DIM
AND YOU'RE JUST SEARCHIN' FOR SOME ONE
YOU CAN TRUST IN

YOU DON'T HAVE TO LOOK VERY FAR
I'M RIGHT BY YOUR SIDE
I KNOW HOW YOU'RE FEELIN'
YOU DON'T HAVE TO HIDE
LET'S TEAR DOWN THE WALL TOGETHER
AND SEE THE REAL YOU
I'M YOUR FRIEND AND I LOVE YOU
AND I WILL ALWAYS BE TRUE

YOU'RE WORKIN' SO HARD TO KEEP FROM DESPAIR
WHEN YOU'RE FEELING DOWN
GIVE ME A CALL AND I'LL BE THERE
SEEMS LIKE NOTHING IN LIFE IS GOING YOUR WAY
CAN BARELY HOLD ON FROM DAY TO DAY
LIFE ISN'T ROSES OR PEACHES AND CREAM
BUT IF WE FACE IT TOGETHER
IT CAN BE A BOWL OF ICE-CREAM

JUST PUT YOUR LIFE IN GOD'S HANDS
AND HE WILL SEE YOU THROUGH
CUZ HE'S YOUR BEST FRIEND
AND HE LOVES AND CARES ABOUT YOU

WHEN YOU'RE FEELING LONELY
AND NEED TO KNOW THAT SOMEONE CARES
JUST REMEMBER ME AND YOU DON'T HAVE TO FEAR
CUZ I WON'T DESERT YOU
LIKE OTHERS HAVE DONE BEFORE
CAUSE I'M YOUR FRIEND AND I LOVE YOU
AND THAT'S WHAT FRIENDS ARE FOR
YES, I'M YOUR FRIEND AND I LOVE YOU
AND THAT'S WHAT FRIENDS ARE FOR
