Oh, for many’s a day I’ve heard you weep,
But didn’t you know your tears wash pierced feet?
It’s been many’s days since I’ve heard you rejoice,
So draw close to me and we’ll sing with one voice.
I’ll stand close to you, I sing my song to you,
I sing my song to you if darkness should come,
I stand by your side, I’ll be a friend to you,
I’ll be a friend to you if trouble returns.
It’s been many’s a night since you felt someone cared,
Not one single prayer was ever unheard,
For many’s a night I’ve seen you forlorn,
So reach out and touch the hands that were torn.
I’ll stand close to you, I sing my song to you,
I sing my song to you if darkness should come,
I stand by your side, I’ll be a friend to you,
I’ll be a friend to you if trouble returns,
Be a friend to you if trouble returns.
