Everybody needs a friend now and then
To come and pick their heart up again
When everything gets shattered
Everybody needs someone to understand
Someone just to come and hold their hand
To be there through disaster
And I'm going to be there for you
So when you're crying
I want to be the shoulder you lean on
And when you're lonely
I'm never gonna leave you so just hold on
And when you're crying
I want to be the shoulder you lean on
You say you don't need anyone
But I know when you come undone
That you might change your story
I don't know if you're listening
But when you feel like giving in
I'm going to hold you in these arms
Cause all I am is a word away
So when you're crying
I want to be the shoulder you lean on
When you're lonely
I'm never gonna leave you so just hold on
When you're crying
I want to be the shoulder you lean on
Oh yes I do
And if you're on top of the world
And you fall down
You're shaking inside
And you can't find your ground
When you lose yourself, God will find you
Hey, you need to know that, the door is open
When you're broken
Come on step on through
Step on through
Ohhhhh, when you're crying
I want to be the shoulder you lean on
When you're lonely
I'm never gonna leave you so just hang on
When you're crying
I want to be the shoulder you lean on
Oh, yes I do
So just hold on
