I know that life seems hard, cruel and unkind A lonesome journey with questions in your mind I hold your weary hand as you walk down the road Remember you're never alone
*Chorus* Whenever you need somebody Whenever you want someone To reach out and touch you With a love that is strong Whenever you need somebody Whenever you want a friend To chase away the clouds and help the sun shine again I will be that friend
If I could have one wish, this I would pray A heavenly miracle, your pain to drift away So I'll keep on praying until that day comes Remember (Remember) that I'll be the one
*Chorus*
I'll give you strength in times you're feelin' weak (Oh yeah) I'll give hope and help you to believe
*Chorus*
I'm gonna be there Gonna be your friend I'm gonna be that friend Right by your side I'm gonna be that friend
