Lyrics
When I Need A Friend
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Holy, Holy
Dove descend
Soft and slowly
When I'm near the end
Holy, Holy
Dark defend
Shield me, show me
When I need a friend
Slowly, slowly
Violence end
Love reign o'er me
When I need a friend
Hombre, mire
Ah, propiamente, para toda la gente
Ha sido motivo de burla
Porque todo el mundo piensa que es una cosa imposible
Que es cuestión de locos
El problema es que todo es increíble
Y la gente no lo acepta
