"I'll Be Here"

If it's far away you are
If you're enjoying and auld jar
Remember me
If talking to old friends
Or suffering from the bends
Remember me
Don't let sadness make you frown
Don't let madness take you down
Remember me
Don't let winter storms depress
Don't get carried away with stress
Remember me
I will be there for you, friend
I promise you
I will do whatever it takes
To comfort you
I will take that extra step
to make it right for you
I will pray to the heavenly God
It that's OK with you
Now, You have a friend
You can call me without fear
I am not that far away
In fact, I am right here

We Need Friends

WE NEED FRIENDS


Sometimes we find it hard, when friends have gone away
You have no one to speak with, especially, on a Winter Day.
It is then the mind takes over, as it erupts inside our dome.
It arouses all the fear we have, when we sit there all alone.

Well, we have the television and so many books to read
It makes it hard to focus, when you find it hard to breathe
”Who can you call if things get out of hand”
Who can you rely on, when you need a helping hand?

Too many times in life, we move to different places
For a while we write each other, remembering the faces
Then we seem to drift away, with so many things to do
And contact becomes rare r, as you forget those you knew

Take out your address book, that’s been filed away for ages
Take your time go through it, by reading all the pages
Now pick up the telephone and begin to make a call
To all old friends you find there, who are waiting on your call

Sometimes we find it hard, when friends have gone away
And you have no one to speak with, especially on a Winter Day
So use the tools God gave you, pick up the phone and call
And friendships will be rekindled and shared by one and all
