If you're lonely

And need a friend

And troubles seem like

They never end

Just remember

To keep the faith

And love will be there

To light the way

Anytime you need a friend

I will be here

You'll never be alone again

So don't you fear

Even if you're miles away

I'm by your side

So don't you ever be lonely

Love will make it alright

When the shadows

Are closing in

And your spirit

Diminishing

Just remember

You're not alone

And love will be there

To guide you home

Anytime you need a friend

I will be here

You'll never be alone again

So don't you fear

Even if you're miles away

I'm by your side

So don't you ever be lonely

Love will make it alright

If you just believe in me

I will love you endlessly

Take my hand

Take me into your heart

I'll be there forever baby

I won't let go

I'll never let go

Anytime you need a friend

I will be here

You'll never be alone again

So don't you fear

(Don't worry, don't fear)

Even if you're miles away

(Yes! I am with you wherever you are)

I'm by your side

So don't you ever be lonely

It's alright

(It's alright!)

It's alright

(It's alright!)

Anytime you need a friend

(Yes! you know it's alright!)

I will be here

You'll never be alone again

So don't you fear

(Don't never fear)

Even if you're miles away

I'm by your side

Don't you ever be lonely

It's alright

(Yes!)

It's alright

Anytime you need a friend

I will be here

You'll never be alone again

So don't you fear

(Don't ever worry)

Even if you're miles away

I'm by your side

Don't you ever be lonely

It's alright

It's alright
