A friend like me
People laugh and people cry
When life's bad, they ask why
How to get up when they fall
Rise up again to stand tall
They look to you and wonder
How come you don't go under
If only they could see
That you have a friend like me.
A friend to listen,
A friend to care
A friend who is ready
For you to share
A friend to lean on
When you're uncertain
A friend who'll pull you up
When you hit rock bottom
Keep your chin up
Take joy in the fact
That I'll be there for you
For any emotional attack
When the dust settles
And the night is withdrawn
I'll be right next to you
Past the break of dawn.
