Lyrics When you think 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
All 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'll stick by your side
That's What Friends are For All pull together
All join hands
All 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 Characters Locations Trivia The song's lyrics were originally written in 1991 during the production of the third series .
Mike O'Donnell has stated that there was a music video made for this song as well as one for Rules and Regulations . The reason why this music video was never released was because the song was seen as "too sad" for the overall tone of the show. Neither music video has ever been released on VHS or DVD, proving actual proof that both music videos have been considered lost media despite being produced.
In the YouTube World Tour version, additional instruments and vocals are heard throughout the song and the soloist lines before the final line are removed. This version was also mixed differently to accommodate the new instruments and vocals.
According to a YouTube comment, Mike O'Donnell stated that the song was exclusively made for the fourth series and for the album Thomas and the Best-Kept Station Competition .
This song, along with Rules and Regulations, are the only two songs from the fourth series to not receive any Brazilian Portuguese, Latin American Spanish and Japanese dubs due to the fact neither one of the two had any music videos released on home media or television for both the UK and the US.
According to a track information sheet, the song was originally meant to be called "All Pull Together". Home Media Releases CDs Music Video
