Heey, ooh, ooh
I know that life seems hard, cruel and unkind
A lonesome journey with questions in your mind
I'll hold your weary hand as you walk down the road
Remember you're never alone, no
[Chorus:]
Whenever you need somebody
Whenever you want someone
To reach out and touch you
With a love that is strong
Whenever you need somebody
Whenever you want a friend
To chase away the clouds and help the sun shine again
I will be that friend
If I could have one wish this I would pray
A heavenly miracle, your pain to drift away
So I'll keep on prayin' until that day comes
Remember that I'll be the one, the one
[Chorus:]
I'll give you strength in times you're feeling weak
I'll give you hope and help you to believe
Yeah
[Chorus:]
I'm gonna be a friend
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah
I'm gonna be that friend
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Right by your side
I'm gonna be that friend
Ooh, oooh
