Gift Of A Friend – English Lyrics

Lyrics & Translation

[English]

Sometimes you think you'll be find by yourself

Cause a dream is a wish you make all alone

It's easy to feel like you don't need help

But it's harder to walk on your own

You'll change inside

When you, realize

The world comes to life

And everything's alright

From beginning to end

When you have a friend

By your side

That helps you to find

The beauty of all

When you'll open your heart and

Believe in

The gift of a friend

The gift of a friend

Someone who knows when your lost and your scared

There through the highs and the lows

Someone you can count on, someone who cares

Besides you where ever you go

You'll change inside

When you, realize

The world comes to life

And everything's alright

From beginning to end

When you have a friend

By your side

That helps you to find

The beauty of all

When you'll open your heart and

Believe in

The gift of a friend

And when the hope crashes down

Shattering to the ground

You, you'll feel all alone

When you don't know which way to go

And there's no such leading you on

You're not alone

The world comes to life

And everything's alright

From beginning to end

When you have a friend

By your side

That helps you to find

The beauty of all

When you'll open your heart and

Believe in

When you believe in

You can believe in, the gift from a friend

Ohhhhhh.
