When I’m Feeling Friendless
I’m standing in the darkness,
Standing all alone.
For this bleak existence
Is all I’ve ever known.
Then through the darkness
A hand reaches through the night,
And a voice reassures me
That everything will be alright.
I shakily reach toward it
Wary and unsure,
Then I see a beaming smile,
And I remember her.
Somehow I’d forgotten
In my pity and self doubt
She’s the one who stood beside me
Showing me the way out.
I wasn’t all alone
I just had shut my eyes,
I convinced myself I was all alone
And blocked out their plaintive cries.
They were trying to reach me
Through the walls I had made.
And finally it’s broken down
And I know friendship will never fade.
