When troubles come
your soul to try
You love the friend
who just stands by.
Perhaps there's nothing
he or she can do
The thing is strictly
up to you.
For there are troubles
all your own
And paths the soul
must tread alone.
Times when love
can't smooth the road
Nor friendship
lift the heavy load.
But just to feel
you have a friend
Who will stand by
until the end.
Whose sympathy
through all endures
Whose warm hand clasp
is always yours.
It helps somehow
to pull you through
Although there's nothing
he or she can do.
And so with
fervent heart we cry.
God Bless the friend
who just stands by.
