by Sunny Waters

And ya say you can see when you close your eyes
And though ya don't have wings still you can fly high
You can sit in the shade and feel the sun
But if you want a friend you've got to be one

You don't have to sleep to follow a dream
You don't have to play to be part of the team
You can be a winner having never won
But if you want a friend you've got to be one

You don't need to be loved to be in love
It can be over without being above
You can think you have it all when really you have none
But if you want a friend you've got to be one

I hope you can hear what I'm saying to you
It's not a riddle with a mystery clue
It's plain and simple and honest and true
It's a song from a friend from me to you
