...And I realize that I need to be a strong and independent young man   But I realize that I'm nothing and I'd be nothing all alone      This song is for everyone who's ever helped me out   Hope I can repay you until that day comes this gesture is all I've got      The times the phone would ring and who could ask for better timbing?   Something was bugging me and somebody helped to get it off my mind   Just want to let you know insert your name here, and this song goes out to you   Just want to let you know how that I hope you'll be my friend   Be my friend for life      This song is for everyone who's ever helped me out   Hope I can repay you until that day comes this gesture is all I've got    So thanks a lot
