Heey, ooh, ooh I know that life seems hard, cruel and unkind A lonesome journey with questions in your mind I'll hold your weary hand as you walk down the road Remember you're never alone, no [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 prayin' until that day comes Remember that I'll be the one, the one [Chorus:] I'll give you strength in times you're feeling weak I'll give you hope and help you to believe Yeah [Chorus:] I'm gonna be a friend Oh yeah, yeah, yeah I'm gonna be that friend Yeah, yeah, yeah Right by your side I'm gonna be that friend Ooh, oooh
