Sometimes it's so hard
Te be all on your own
Feeling helpless
And far from home

I play my favorite song
It keeps me hanging on
Ease the lonelyness
When everyone is gone

When I'm feeling down and out
Memories I feel bad about
I know a way to set my sorrow aside

My friends are always there for me
To help me through the darkest night
My friends will always stand by me
To lend a hand and make it right
My friends will find a way to hold on
My friends I'll find a way to hold on

I drive away the night
To an empty hotel room
My heart is filled
With feelings of gloom

Watch the world on cnn
Read a letter of a far away fan
Just a distant love
Is all that I am

When I'm feeling down and out
Memories I feel bad about
I know a way to set my sorrow aside

My friends are always there for me
To help me through the darkest night
My friends will always stand by me
To lend a hand and make it right
My friends will find a way to hold on
My friends I'll find a way to hold on

We're for ever on our way
No time somehow to stay
And share some words, that seem so easy to say
It's a cold world outside
Everybody needs a place to hide
You gotta know, real friendship never dies

My friends are always there for me
To help me through the darkest night
My friends will always stand by me
To lend a hand and make it right
My friends will find a way to hold on
My friends I'll find a way to hold on
