WHEN SOMEONE NEEDS A FRIEND
©Billy O'Dwyer Bob 2000

You can break your mind and body
You can lose all self-control
You can say things never hurt you
Though it cuts you to the soul
You can live a life of make-believe
You can sit there and pretend
But there comes a time in every life
When someone needs a friend.

Chorus
So hold me now, don't ever let me go
I need a helping hand
I need someone who knows me
Someone who'll understand
I'm fragile like a flower
That's blowing in the breeze
I'm strong in mind and body
But I'm weak around the knees
And I feel like I've been drowning,
Like I'm swimming on dry land
And only those who know me
Are those who understand.

You can walk in all directions
If you don't know where you're going
You can feel like you're invincible
But you're only flesh and bone
So you sit there in your castle
And you hold out 'til the end
But there comes a time in every life
When someone needs a friend.

Chorus

You want to be somebody
But you don't know who you are
You've spent your whole life searching
And sometimes you went too far
So you make like you're an island
'Til you slowly comprehend
That there comes a time in every life
When someone needs a friend.

Chorus
