God knew that everyone needs
Companionship and cheer,
He knew that people need someone
Whose thoughts are always near.

He knew that we need someone kind 
To lend a helping hand,
Someone to gladly take the time 
To care and understand

God knew that we all need someone
To share each happy day,
And to be a source of courage
When troubles come our way

Someone to be true to us 
Whether near or far apart, 
Someone whose love we can always hold
And treasure in our hearts... 

And that's why God gave us friends!
