This song reinforces my belief of the importance of friends. In a way it reflects my search for the "perfect friend", now I realize that person doesn't exist, but we should always set high goals. When I have a close friend, I would do virtually anything for them and in the beginning, they usually feel the same, but once they realize what a high maintenance person I am, I find myself alone again. I continue to search for that "shoulder to cry on", hopefully someday, I'll find it.
Life is full of lots of up and downs And the distance feels further When you're headed for the ground And there is nothing more painful Than to let you're feelings take you down It's so hard to know The way you feel inside When there's many thoughts And feelings that you hide But you might feel better If you let me walk with you by your side Chorus: And when you need a shoulder to cry on When you need a friend to rely on When the whole world is gone You won't be alone, cause I'll be there I'll be your shoulder to cry on I'll be there I'll be a friend to rely on When the whole world is gone You won't be alone, cause I'll be there All of the times when everything is wrong And you're feeling like There's no use going on You can't give it up I hope you work it out and carry on Side by side With you till the end I'll alway be the one to firmly hold your hand No matter what is said or done Our love will always continue on Everyone needs a shoulder to cry on Everyone needs a friend to rely on When the whole world is gone You won't be alone cause I'll be there I'll be your shoulder to cry on I'll be there I'll be the one you rely on When the whole world's gone You won't be alone Cause I'll be there! And when the whole world is gone You'll always have my shoulder to cry on....
