Go ahead child
Make your way in this world of strangers
You must go child
Time is come, can't hold you back from the dangers
If you need a friend tonight
I'll be your friend
If you don't make it home alright
I'll take you in
Go work hard boy
Make your way in this world of savagery
When you can boy
Lend a hand to folks in need like you and me
But if you get knocked down tonight
I'll take you in
If you don't make it home alright
I'll be your friend
It's been a long long time
Since i've seen you in my town
You need help in a bad way
But I don't see you around
You just gotta find your own way
Just relax, settle down
Lord it's all over town
This old world's coming down
Coming down
Go take your rest
I will sing my songs sweet and charm your heart
Think of me often
I'll think of you
It's as though we won't be apart
If you need a friend tonight
I'll take you in
If you don't make it home alright
I'll be your friend
Yes I will
Go ahead and love him
Show him what life's about like I showed you
Love him hard darling
He's a man, he needs it like all of us do
But if he throws you out tonight
I'll take you in
If you don't make it home alright
I'll be your friend
Love, love is all we need
You just gotta stop and take
Sunny days will shine on you
If you say with your heart you want them to
Try to lend a friendly hand
It's what we need to make a better land
Let me try to show you how
Not some time in the future, but right now
If you don't make it home alright
I'll take you in
If you need a friend tonight
I'll be your friend
