| I can see my little brother's wondering with his head in his hand | |
| and I know he's doing a lot of thinking with his foot in the sand | |
| no doubt he's hoping and wishing for a helping hand | |
| I would stop for a while and listen and do what I can | |
| cause I don't think I live in this suffering time | |
| I do my best (I do my best) | |
| [Chorus] | |
| Cause a friend in need is a friend indeed | |
| and that's my belief, my philosophy | |
| I say a friend in need is a friend indeed | |
| and that's my belief my philosophy | |
| A friend in need is a friend indeed | |
| not for a dime, I put my friendship on the line | |
| leaving behind all the wonderful time | |
| I'll never forget, no way, where I'm coming from | |
| if my brethren is weak I say | |
| its for my tho get him strong | |
| [Chorus] | |
| Sometime you are down and low | |
| don't have a dime, don't know where to go | |
| and you feel like giving up | |
| and a brethren comes along | |
| [Chorus] |
