Just Be A Friend - Taana Gardner

Just Be A Friend

Arranged By — Kenton Nix, Van Gibbs

Written-By — Henry Batts, Kenton Nix

Background: Just be a friend

Just be a friend

The people that we see on the street,

They smile and don’t even speak

And the only thing that makes it worse

Is neither one wants to speak first

You call it being strong

I’m sorry but it’s all wrong

And oh it’s such a sin

Because the problems no deeper than skin

Background: Just be a friend

Just be a friend

Got to get ourselves together

now, cause now’s the time to start

Can’t do as much living now

Cause now we’ve got to do our part

Not love for just man and wife

But love for all of life

A pleasant smile you’ll find

Means the same for all mankind

And now we’re hung up in color

And we should be trying to love one another

We’re thinking about white and black

Lord knows that ain’t where it’a at

We’re thinking about yellow and red

The black is only in your head

You say you’re a strong man

Let me see you shake his hand

Background: Just be a friend

Just be a friend

How that all my hate is gone

I feel that I can carry on

The feeling I get from the song

It picks me up and makes me strong
