Lyrics

 * When you feel life's unfair
 * And you feel nobody cares
 * Don't be afraid to open the door
 * Then you'll find you're not alone anymore


 * Sometimes there's rainy days
 * You may need help along the way
 * Do not despair, you know we'll be there
 * That's What Friends are For


 * All pull together
 * All join hands
 * Old friends together forever


 * We are the best friends
 * We stand as one
 * Whatever life may bring
 * We are never alone


 * We're together, forever
 * As one


 * Life's full of ups, and downs
 * Just like a merry-go-round
 * Happy or sad, we will stick by your side
 * That's What Friends are For


 * All pull together
 * All join hands
 * Old friends together forever


 * We are the best friends
 * We stand as one
 * Whatever life may bring
 * We are never alone


 * We're together, forever


 * One day, we may be apart
 * And the distance may sadden our hearts
 * Wherever we stray, remember this day


 * Friends together, forever
 * We stay
 * (words in bold are not in the video)
 * (words in bold are not in the video)
