Sometimes you think you′d be fine by yourself
'Cause a dream is a wish that you make all alone
It′s easy to feel like you don't need helpBut it's harder to walk on your own
You′ll change inside
When you realize
The world comes to life
And everything′s bright
From beginning to end
When you have a friend
By your side
It helps you to find the beauty you are
When you open your heart
And believe in
The gift of a friend
The gift of a friend
Someone who knows when you're lost and you′re scared
There through the highs and the lows
Someone to count on, someone who cares
Beside you wherever you go
You'll change inside
When you realize
The world comes to life
And everything′s bright
From beginning to end
When you have a friend
By your side
It helps you to find the beauty you are
When you open your heart
And believe in
The gift of a friend
And when your hope crashes down
Shattering to the ground
You, you feel all alone
When you don't know which way to go
There′s no sign leading you home
You're not alone
The world comes to life
And everything's bright
From beginning to end
When you have a friend
By your side
It helps you to find the beauty you are
When you open your heart
And believe in
When you believe in
When you believe in
The gift of a friend
The gift of a friend
