Lyrics for It's a Good Thing
It's a good thing, it's a good thing
To have friends
Who make your heart sing
It's a good thing, it's a good thing
To have friends
Who make your hea-rt sing
Who lift you up by the scruff
And aren't afraid to call your bluff
Who've got your back, who've got your front
Who've got your nu-u-umber
Who've got the ticket, hit the wicket
Knock the ball right out of the park
Who are actually always on your side
Your real, real home team
They can cajole, they can lecture
Or be like a living mirror
Showing reflections of things in you that you
really oughta see
Who help you laugh instead of cry, and not
get identified
I'm not these thoughts or these emotions,
I I am I
And even if you are alone, or out on your own,
there's a place inside where you
Can find that they still are
And in the times when you're in need
Their hands come reaching
'Cause space and time can't stop
what it i s really
To be the friend, to the friend that
is the friend in everything,
oh the Friend that is the friend
Is what makes the heart sing
They lend a shoulder, lend a hand
Listen, talk and understand
They fan that fire of truth as it
grows inside of you
And with steady hands they hold on tight,
to the you they see inside
And adding their efforts in with yours help you
overcome and rise, yeah ri--se
Who laugh with a joy that rings
When the winds of change it brings
An evolutionary updraft
To your outstretched wings
And when the sun it breaks on through
They're standing right there next to you
And you walk on out together into-ooo the ne-ew
