lyrics

BE A FRIEND

It's o.k.
We're alright
No need to get upset
No need to fight

The day will dawn
New life is born
People fall in love
No time for scorn

BRIDGE

Our old ones they knew
Just what to do
Fought in two World Wars
But they came through

Times they seem so bad
Never worse
But a fool still wastes his day
And writes this verse

So, if you're feeling down about it all
Why don't you find that friend and make a call
You always said you would
But never found the time
Now time is of the essence

Be a friend . . .

CHORUS

Be an angel when you're able
You can lend . . .
Time and conversation
To that friend
Love to your neighbour
And people round the world

There's no time like the present . . .
Be a friend

There's no time like the present . . .
Be a friend

Soon you'll see
What has to be
The old ways you'll remember
With a smile

Then you'll know
Which way to go
See this as a blessing
Not a trial

So, if you're feeling down about it all
Remember now's the time for standing tall
Be all that you can be
And never take a fall

You can be a friend now. . .

Make that call

Repeat CHORUS
