get caught out in the rain
blue skies turn to gray sometimes
we've all heard that refrain
as long as there's someone
who will take you as you are
you'll never need a lucky star

'Cause when someone's there who will listen
someone there who won't judge you
one who'll care and just love you
you'll make it through
and when there's a shoulder to cry on
someone you can rely on
be there too for that someone there for you

Everybody needs a friend
every now and then
when you feel you're near the end
just remember when
somebody held you in their
lovin' arms and then
helped you start over again

'Cause when someone's there who will listen
someone there who won't judge you
one who'll care and just love you
you'll make it through
and when there's a shoulder to cry on
someone you can rely on
be there too for that someone there for you
when you're there for someone
someone's always there for you
