Say to me what you really mean
I won`t ever give you reason to lie
See into me, what I am is in my eyes
And I`m willing to believe the same in you
I think I`m ready now, I`m only learning how
Is there anyone around who has a plan?
I`m not a lonely man, there are those who think I am
But I`d rather be alone until I`m standing by a friend
By a friend I`ve known only minutes
By a friend I`ve known all my life
To you friend I say let us go outside and play
In the laughter, in the rain
In the sunlight, in the pain
Everyone I`ve ever known needs a friend
A warm hand in hand
Every woman and man
You want to make a good friend, do it now
Brother why wait around?
Sister don`t let me down
Cause you pass right by a friend
And they might never come again oh yeah
Don`t you know me?
What I really mean
Is there something here that you can understand?
I am not afraid oh to open up my hand
And I stretch it out to see
If it`s taken by a friend
repeat chorus
