In the Company of Friends

Sometimes we get so overwhelmed
By all we feel we need to do
That we forget to look behind us
Appreciate what we've been through
Sometimes we need a little time to spend
With the ones that know us best
A few special hours with our friends
And we can handle all the rest

And in the company of friends
You'll find a safe place for your heart
And you don't have to pretend
You're feeling something that you aren't
You can celebrate life's victories
Or find the strength to try again
When you bless your life
With the company of your friends

There are just so many ups and downs
On this journey we call life
Sometimes you need a soft reminder
That everything will be alright
Sometimes you need to look at yourself
Through the eyes of those who care
To be reminded what your gifts are
And all the strength you have in there

And in the company of friends
You'll find a safe place for your heart
And you don't have to pretend
You're feeling something that you aren't
You can celebrate life's victories
Or find the strength to try again
When you bless your life
With the company of your friends

We say if not me who
And if not now when
There's so much I want to do
And I won't pass this way again
I have dreams to fulfill
And I'd love to touch the wind
But we are so rich still
Just because we have our friends

And in the company of friends
You'll find a safe place for your heart
And you don't have to pretend
You're feeling something that you aren't
You can celebrate life's victories
Or find the strength to try again
When you bless your life
With the company of your friends
