Friends are those people,
Who know that you’re mad,
And let you be mad.
They know that you’re hurt
And let you be hurt.

But when the anger has died
And your tears they have dried,
They reach out to lift you up once again
They reach out to help you heal from the pain

They reach out to show you
What it is you must do
And carry you time and again
To the road to be strong once again.

Friends always tell you
When you’re being a fool
Friends will not let you
Be somebody’s fool

Friends fill up your lonely space
With kindness and grace
Replacing your strife
With love and with life
