backing

( My friend my friend my)

My friend

backing( My friend)

Is the king of all kings

And yet my friend walks beside me

My friend

backing( My friend)

Rules the earth and the sun

And yet my friend stops to guide me

My friend takes my hand

Just when all appears in vain

And makes it plain

Through joy or pain

He'll remain

My friend

My friend tells me life is a road

And though it ends

At the bending

My friend

Tells then there's a road beyond this road

That is unending

Some day when I walk up the happy road that lies

Around the bend

Who will there be

To welcome me

My friend

musical interlude and backing

Some day when I walk up the happy road that lies

Around the bend

Who will there be

To welcome me

My friend
