“I’ll Be Your Friend,” New Era, June 1998, 18–19
Special Issue:
Faces of Friendship
In Tune:
I’ll Be Your Friend
1. In every soul there burns a flame
That lights our path and helps us get back home again.
And should it grow too dim to see,
We wander, lost. We cannot see eternity.
Chorus:
I. I’ll share my light when yours is low.
II. You’ll share your light when I can’t see the way to go.
I. On every choice (I. and II.) so much depends.
I’ll be your friend.
2. My hopes and dreams are like a spark.
I share them, and they glow more bright within my heart.
My sorrows aren’t so hard to bear
When you are there to listen, understand, and care.
Chorus
3. I know your heart is good and true,
So when you stumble, I still see the best in you.
When I grow tired along the way,
You cheer and help me want to strive another day.
Chorus
I. and II. Along our way I’ll be your friend.
