We All Need a Friend

The world around us ignores our hurt.
No one seems to care.
We're pushing on to things unseen,
Our lives have been stripped bare.
But you can always count on me,
Our friendship will endure.
You can always count on me,
I'll help be the cure.

You can cry on my shoulder.
I won't let you down.
Even as we all grow older,
We all need a friend.
You can call me up at night,
I'll listen to your heart.
Even though we sometimes fight,
We all need a friend.

Every day the war still wages,
Time is passing by.
We're aiming for a hope unmentioned,
We give a little sigh.
But you can always count on me,
Our friendship means the world.
You can always count on me,
Your hand I will hold.

You can cry on my shoulder.
I won't let you down.
Even as we all grow older,
We all need a friend.
You can call me up at night,
I'll listen to your heart.
Even though we sometimes fight,
We all need a friend.

Oh you can cry on my shoulder,
I will see you through.
Even as we all grow older,
We all need a friend.
You can call me up at night,
I'll lend a listening ear.
Even though we sometimes fight...
I still want to be a friend...
I still want you as a friend...
We all need a friend.
