If the wind will blow   I will hold your hand   When the sun won't shine   I will never fade away      When the tears appear   To wipe away your smile   Don't be afraid   I'll be here      I will be your friend   Who will always care   I'll be the first to catch you   If ever you should fall   And hold you in my arms   I will be your friend      If you lose your place   In life's crazy race   You can make it through   'Cause I will run with you      We'll always pray   And believe in our hearts   That God will be here   By our side      I will be your friend   Who will always care   I'll be the first to catch you   If ever you should fall   And hold you in my arms   I will be your friend      God knows our imperfections   And He loves us anyway   A closer friend than I could ever be   But a little piece of heaven   I will do my best to bring   You'll never have to search again      I will be your friend   Who will always care   I'll be the first to catch you   If ever you should fall   And hold you in my arms   I will be your friend      I will be your friend   One who will always care   I'll be a little closer   When you feel so far away   And hold you in my arms   I will be your friend
