My friend, I need you now,
Please take me by the hand.
Stand by me in my hour of need,
And take the time to understand.
Please take my hand my friend,
And lead me from this place.
Chase away my doubts and fears,
And wipe the tears off of my face.
My friend, I cannot stand alone,
I need your loving hand to hold.
And the warmth of your gentle touch,
In my world that's grown so cold.
Please be a friend to me,
And hold me day by day.
Because with your loving hand in mine,
I know we'll find the way.
