Sometimes you think you'll be fine by yourself 'Cause a dream is a wish that you make all alone It's easy to feel like you don't need help But it's harder to walk on your own You'll change inside when you realize The world comes to life and everything's bright From beginning to end when you have a friend by your side That helps you to find the beauty you are When you open your heart and believe in the gift of a friend The gift of a friend Someone who knows when you're lost and you're scared And they're through the highs and the lows Someone you can count on, someone who cares Beside you wherever you'll go You'll change inside when you realize The world comes to life and everything's right From beginning to end when you have a friend by your side That helps you to find the beauty you are When you open your heart and believe in the gift of a friend And when your hope crashes down Shattering to the ground you, you feel all alone When you don't know which way to go And there's no signs leading you home, you're not alone The world comes to life and everything's bright From beginning to end when you have a friend by your side That helps you to find the beauty you are When you open your heart and believe in When you believe in, when you believe in the gift of a friend --- THE GIFT OF A FRIEND ---
