I know that life seems hard, cruel and unkind 

A lonesome journey with questions in your mind 

I'll hold your weary hand as you walk down the road 

Remember you're never alone 



Whenever you need somebody 

Whenever you want someone 

To reach out and touch you 

With a love that is strong 

Whenever you need somebody 

Whenever you want a friend 

To chase away the clouds

and help the sun shine again 

I will be that friend 



If I could have one wish this I would pray 

A heavenly miracle, your pain to drift away 

So I'll keep on prayin' until that day comes 

Remember that I'll be the one 



Whenever you need somebody 

Whenever you want someone 

To reach out and touch you 

With a love that is strong 

Whenever you need somebody 

Whenever you want a friend 

To chase away the clouds and help the sun shine again 

I will be that friend 



I'll give you strength in times you're feeling weak 

I'll give you hope and help you to believe
