Michael Tomlinson By A Friend
Say to me what you really mean I won't ever give you reason to lie See into me, what I am is in my eyes And I'm willing to believe the same in you I think I'm ready now, I'm only learning how Is there anyone around who has a plan? I'm not a lonely man, there are those who think I am But I'd rather be alone until I'm standing by a friend By a friend I've known only minutes By a friend I've known all my life To you friend I say let us go outside and play In the laughter, in the rain In the sunlight, in the pain Everyone I've ever known needs a friend A warm hand in hand Every woman and man You want to make a good friend, do it now Brother why wait around? Sister don't let me down Cause you pass right by a friend And they might never come again oh yeah Don't you know me? What I really mean Is there something here that you can understand? I am not afraid oh to open up my hand And I stretch it out to see If it's taken by a friend repeat chorus
