If the door does close before you
And bad things come your way
If warm winds turn to very cold
Your friends will always stay

They’ll give a hand of guidance
Though they may not be wise
They’ll try to find your answers
And wipe away your cries

They’ll take your hand, they'll help you
They’ll show you way to go
They’ll pry the door wide open friend
To let your freedom flow

And through the times of doubt and trust
The knowing not of what to do
They will be there to listen friend
And take the time to be with you


So if you wake to dread each day
Remember friends do also doubt
And face the day to once again
Discover what life’s all about

Friends are better gifts by far
Than money that just buys a need
Support is worth much more than fame
Kindness spreads the friendship seed

The world is filled with you’s and me’s
The problems that are small in scale
Friendship brings life’s special gift
A gift that’s not for sale

So if you have a friend or two
Count yourself as very blessed
For they'll be close, not far away
For true friends never rest
