I feel alone in a crowded room
whispers of a past gone by
eyes to the wall, my feet to the floor
praying for a friend to help me out.
Then the face to my right comes alive
reaches for the hand in my soul.
Get up off your feet and sing with me,
life's too short to let it pass you by.
We stand at the edge of the world
another friend he stands at our side
our minds clear as rain
and steady like the wind,
our voices fill the sky as one.
Just remember when you're looking around
that around, well it's looking at you.
'Cause when you cut it to it's core
we're all looking for
a friend to help us out.
