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)

'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

It's for my tho get him strong

'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

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

'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
