All I Need Is a Friend (It Could Be Me) words and music by Bill Pere Chiani disappears after school I thought she had it all together, she was nobody's fool But she's feeling like there's no one around To give her life direction, keep her feet on the ground So she waits until the end of each class Then she hangs with Jackie Daniels, a bottle, and a glass People turn their heads, choose not to see I know about being alone, it could be me.... I am poetry not yet written A tale still too young to take wing A symphony just getting set to soar A song not yet ready to sing But I know, for these things to grow And be all they can be in the end I need someone there To care and help all the hurt mend All I need is a friend Joshua has been feeling down It's another world out there on the far side of town That's the way his life's always been Built a wall around him, no one ever gets in From lessons learned and tears that he's cried Always by himself, Smith and Wesson by his side People turn their heads, choose not to see I know about being alone, it could be me.... I am poetry not yet written A tale still too young to take wing A symphony just getting set to soar A song not yet ready to sing But I know, for these things to grow And be all they can be in the end I need someone there To care and help all the hurt mend All I need is a friend Brianna really needs to connect She's feeling like a castaway, relationship-wrecked She's tried to reach out for a hand Someone to talk to, someone to understand The silence slowly drives her insane She spends her time just floating with her friend Mary Jane People turn their heads, choose not to see I know about being alone, it could be me.... I am poetry not yet written A tale still too young to take wing A symphony just getting set to soar A song not yet ready to sing But I know, for these things to grow And be all they can be in the end I need someone there To care and help all the hurt mend All I need is a friend ======================================= Copyright Bill Pere  All rights reserved.
