WHEN YOU NEED A FRIEND

I’m the friend you may not find in these crazy, crazy places, these crazy, crazy times
I’m the friend you may not find when you need a friend

When I say it’s you I like, I’m talking of that part
Of you that knows that life is more than anything
That you can ever see, that you can hear or touch
That deeper part of you, that deeper part of me
When you need a friend
When you need a friend
When you need a friend
When you need a friend

I’m the friend you may not find in these crazy, crazy places, these crazy, crazy times
I’m the friend you may not find when you need a friend

I love the part of you that deeply understands
And stands for all of that which every human needs
That keeps within your heart the love that conquers hate
The peace that survives war and justice over greed

Betrayal is a good friend of mine
We’ve been bed fellows for a very long time
My worst mistakes, the ones that I hide
Were mostly made on the inside
If you see colors that the others don’t
If you miss colors that the others won’t
If your heart’s been broken by a broken home
The life you save may be your own

You click here and you click there, you can click most anywhere
While you stay inside your room, cemented to your chair
From sun up until sun down, you could look for something real
But this clicky, mousy world will never help you feel
When you need a friend
When you need a friend
When you need a friend
When you need a friend

I’m the friend you may not find in these crazy, crazy places, these crazy, crazy times
I’m the friend you may not find when you need a friend
When you need a friend, when you need a friend
When you need a friend, when you need a friend
When you need a friend, when you need a friend
When you need a friend
