Chorus:
Can somebody hear me? I’m hurting, I need a friend in life. Can somebody feel
me? I need you to help take away my pain.
What
is this world coming to, when children are being abused? Not by a stranger or
a neighbor, but by mother and father, oohhh, its getting so bad. Their lives are
being taken away before grade school. Even before the time they grow up and think
they’re cool. Whatever happened to the time when parents used to teach their children
to pray?
I remember grandma and grandpa saying
son say,
Now lay me down to sleep I pray the
Lord my soul to keep If I die before I wake I pray the Lord my soul to take
What
is the world coming to? Can somebody tell me?
Chorus
This young girl approached me the other day
She said do you have the time to listen to what I have to say? I thought about
suicide two or three times because my baby daddy I can’t find. He said he would
marry me, marry me, But when I had my baby, the boy, he left me Now my family
is always putting me down. The girls I ran with they’re nowhere around.
Chorus 2:
Now can you give me hope ‘cause I have nowhere to go need a change in
my life can you help me make that change Can somebody help me and hear me?
Chorus

Hook: I need a friend to be there ‘til
