I see a boy down on the corner he has nothing to his name

I see the dreams that we can follow and die for just the same

and I see someone I believe in through hard and troubled times

if I ever loose my way yeah you're always a friend of mine



then you step out in the big world take the chances that you can

I see the sweat I see the tears yes, brotherhood of man

and I see someone I believe in through hard and troubled times

if I ever loose my way yeah you're always a friend of mine



then you learned about your people (then you learned about your people)

some are weak and some are strong

some might stand up for you do anything for you

others might do you wrong



and I have someone I believe in through hard and troubled times

if I ever loose my way yeah you're always a friend of mine

yes you are



how I used to long for happiness whatever it would take

how I'd die for that old true love make no mistake

how I used to think all that glittered was gold and all of that was mine

now all I have is this moment hoping it's never gonna pass me by

pass me by



now did you find as you went searching all that you were looking for

and has time began to heal you well I got I got more than I bargained for

and I see someone I believe in through hard and troubled times

if I ever loose my way yeah your always a friend of mine

oh yes you are

if I ever loose my way your always a friend of mine

friend of mine
