Be My Friend - David Ackles

This world’s a lonely place to walk around in

This world’s a place where life is hard to spend

But we can help each other live

Everyone can give

The simple gift

The words that lift

Be my friend

Somedays you wake feeling nothing but fear

Somedays you wonder why god put you here

And all at once there comes a word

What was that you heard

Why someone said from the edge

Be my friend

This life may not bring much of comfort to you

This world may lose its touch of kindness too

And who’s to blame

Why can’t you see

Only you and me

So if I may

I’d like to say

Be my friend
