Take a look around you:
It may well astound you
How some people make it through.
Got no food or shelter,
Life’s a helter-skelter;
Listen up, I’m talking to you.
Right here today,
I just wanna say,
I’m gonna help,
I’m gonna be your friend.
Friends stick together
Through all kinds of weather,
An’ I’m gonna be your friend.
Take a look around you:
It may well astound you
How some people just get by.
We can turn a sorrow
To a bright tomorrow,
Now it’s up to you and I.
Right here today,
I just wanna say,
I’m gonna help,
I’m gonna be your friend.
Friends stick together
Through all kinds of weather,
An’ I’m gonna be your friend.
’Cause when you got friends, you got hope,
A bond that will keep us together.
We can be there for each other,
Friendship that lasts forever.
