You dont need to have it all
You dont even need a lot
You dont need to be a doctor
A judge or astronaut
You dont need to be a hero
You dont need a lot of cash
You dont need a fancy car
You dont need to be a smash
You need someone you can count on
Someone you can trust
Someone who is loving
And your life you would entrust
Chorus
Its not who you are
Its who you know
Its not where youve been
Its where youll go
Its not how you look
Its how you see
Its not what you want
Its what you need
What you need is a friend
A victim or a villain
Your life has been a mess
Your past is full of sorrow
Youve had nothing but distress
It dont matter if youre poor
It dont matter if youre weak
It dont matter if the years
Have been hard on your physique
Theres someon you can go to
Who can save you from your sins
Jesus is your friend
No matter where youve been
Repeat chorus
Bridge
I am the way the truth the life
And theres no other way to the father except by me
You dont need to be a cool boy
You dont need to be his girl
You dont need to be the winner
You dont need to rule the world
You need a friend
Who died for you
A friend above us all
A friend whose name is jesus
Who can catch you when you fall
