You've Got a Friend
Embracing Light in Dark Times: You've Got a Friend's Uplifting Message
Lyrics
When you're down and troubled
Expressing support and comfort for someone going through a tough time.
And you need a helping hand
Offering assistance to someone in need.
And nothing, nothing is going right
Acknowledging that everything seems to be going wrong for the person.
Close your eyes and think of me
Suggesting to visualize the speaker during difficult times.
And soon I will be there
Assuring that the speaker will be there to provide support.
To brighten up even your darkest night
Promising to bring brightness to even the darkest moments.
You just call out my name
Encouraging the person to call upon the speaker for help.
And you know wherever I am
Assuring that the speaker will respond no matter where they are.
I'll come running to see you again
Committing to rushing to the person's side when called.
Winter, spring, summer or fall
Emphasizing the speaker's availability in all seasons.
All you have to do is call
Stating that a simple call is all that's needed for support.
And I'll be there
Reiterating the speaker's readiness to be there for the person.
You've got a friend
Highlighting that the person has a reliable friend.
If the sky above you
Describing a challenging situation with dark and cloudy skies.
Grows dark and full of clouds
Continuing to paint a difficult scenario with adverse weather.
And that old north wind begins to blow
Suggesting resilience in the face of challenges.
Keep you head together
Advising to stay composed during difficult times.
And call my name out loud
Encouraging the person to call for assistance.
Soon you'll hear me knocking at you door
Predicting the speaker's imminent arrival when called.
You just call out my name
Repeating the availability for the person to seek help.
And you know wherever I am
Reiterating the commitment to respond to the person's call.
I'll come running to see you again
Emphasizing the speaker's dedication to being there for the person.
Winter, spring, summer or fall
Confirming availability in all seasons.
All you have to do is call
Repeating the simplicity of reaching out for support.
And I'll be there
Restating the commitment to be present for the person.
Ain't it good to know that you've got a friend
Expressing the value of having a reliable friend in difficult times.
When people can be so cold
Commenting on the potential coldness of people.
They'll hurt you, and desert you
Warning about the possibility of being hurt or abandoned by others.
And take your soul if you let them
Highlighting the vulnerability of one's soul if not careful.
You just call out my name
Reiterating the call for the person to seek the speaker's help.
And you know wherever I am
Reassuring the immediate response to the person's call.
I'll come running to see you again
Confirming the commitment to be there for the person in all seasons.
Winter, spring, summer or fall
Repeating the simplicity of reaching out for support.
All you have to do is call
Reiterating the speaker's dedication to being there for the person.
And I'll be there
Restating the comfort of having a reliable friend.
You've got a friend
Affirming the presence of a dependable friend.
You've got a friend
Repeating the statement about having a friend.
Ain't it good to know you've got a friend
Reiterating the positive aspect of having a reliable friend.
Ain't it good to know you've got a friend
Repeating the affirmation of having a trustworthy friend.
