This world's a lonely place to walk around in This world's a place where life is hard to spend But we can help each other live Everyone can give The simple gift The words that lift Be my friend Somedays you wake feeling nothing but fear Somedays you wonder why god put you here And all at once there comes a word What was that you heard Why someone said from the edge Be my friend This life may not bring much of comfort to you This world may lose its touch of kindness too And who's to blame Why can't you see Only you and me So if I may I'd like to say Be my friend
