Lyrics

A FRIEND IN NEED
(S. Rodgers, DC Snyder)
You really scream a lot, you’re not articulating
And with such hateful words, always acting crazy
You drank all night, and ended up in Jail
You never thought that you would fail
You roam around the town, with wild abandonment
With a hungry taste for drugs, you lost it all in tandem
Your family turned their back, and put you on the streets
Just like a dog without a bone!

I’ll be there to lend a helping hand
“A Friend In Need, is a Friend Indeed”
I will help you back on your feet
So that someday…you can do the same

I’d like to find a job, but have got no wheels
A worker told me…”Son, you cannot steal”
Everywhere I go, people look down on me
Just don’t know what I’m gonna do
I stood in line for days, to get a Housing Voucher
I’m on a Homeless List, and hope for tomorrow
I punched an Officer, they sent me back to Jail
Back to this lonely place again!

I’ll be there to lend a helping hand
A Friend In Need, is a Friend Indeed
I will help you back on your feet
So that someday…you can do the same

I will be there to lift you up
A Friend In Need, is a Friend Indeed
I will bring back your dignity
So that someday…you can do the same

I’ll be there to lend a helping hand
A Friend In Need, is a Friend Indeed
I will help you back on your feet
So that someday…you will do the same
