A Friend With A Helping Hand

From time to time, I think of you
You’re often in my mind
My heart sings, too, in calling you
In glad and troubled times.
We’ve walked our paths, apart and near
We’re both here to understand
We can see in each other’s fans, dear
A friend with a helping hand.

There are times when I sit and wonder why
You care enough to see
For although the darkness crashes down
Your hand’s always there for me
Yes, I walk my way, and your path is yorus
Now they travel the same land
And today I can see that you’re here with me,
A friend with a helping hand.

Oh, I know there’ll be days when the caring’s deep
And our trouble’s are all we’ll see
There’ll be times when we’ll pull our dark sides in
And you’ll feel little love from me
But we’ve passed over trials and under many clouds
Now we’re here to begin our stand
And I’m glad to see, right across from me,
A friend with a helping hand.

So I offer you my hand today, and say
What we’ve always known
That we’re stronger standing side by side
Than when we stand alone.
So while our paths are side by side and lead
To an unknown future land,
I now trust, you see
That you’ll walk with me
A friend with a helping hand.
