I always lived my life alone
I faced my problems on my own
I'd walk away when friendships had begun
I never looked around for help
If you want it done, you gotta do it yourself
I never thought that I'd need anyone

But then one day life got me down
And as I laid there on the ground
I thought that I would never make a stand
I looked into your eyes
And much to my surprise
You went and offered me your hand

Chorus:
You said: There's nothing we can't do no journey is too long
Facing life side by side making each other strong
We'll go places we've never been we'll soar where eagles soar
Then you offered me your hand and said That's what friends are for

Then just like you said to me, the friendship grew so easily
There was nothing that we couldn't do
The problems that we both had, never seemed half as bad
When they were divided between two

And everytime you'd have a fall, all you'd have to do is call
We'd face the problem like we had before
I'd help you in your time of need, just like you would do for me
And I would say, that's what friends are for

Chorus:
You said: There's nothing we can't do no journey is too long
Facing life side by side making each other strong
We'll go places we've never been we'll soar where eagles soar
Then you offered me your hand and said That's what friends are for
