"When you're down and troubled

And you need a helping hand

And nothing, whoa nothing is going right

Close your eyes and think of me

And soon I will be there

To brighten up even your darkest nights

You just call out my name

And you know wherever I am

I'll come running, oh yeah baby

To see you again

Winter, spring, summer, or fall

All you have to do is call

And I'll be there, yeah, yeah, yeah

You've got a friend

If the sky above you

Should turn dark and full of clouds

And that old north wind should begin to blow

Keep your head together and call my name out loud

And soon I will be knocking upon your door

You just call out my name and you know where ever I am

I'll come running to see you again

Winter, spring, summer or fall

All you got to do is call

And I'll be there, yeah, yeah, yeah

Hey, ain't it good to know that you've got a friend?

People can be so cold

They'll hurt you and desert you

Well they'll take your soul if you let them

Oh yeah, but don't you let them

You just call out my name and you know wherever I am

I'll come running to see you again

Oh babe, don't you know that

Winter spring summer or fall

Hey now, all you've got to do is call

Lord, I'll be there, yes I will

You've got a friend

You've got a friend

Ain't it good to know you've got a friend

Ain't it good to know you've got a friend

You've got a friend"

I'm very fortunate that I have a few friends like that. My best friend is my wife who I know if I called her name she would be there. 

I feel sad for anybody who doesn't have at least one of them. If so, take a step back and consider that maybe you are the reason you don't have such a friend.

If that's the case, think about how you can change yourself to justify having friends that will be there for you. Maybe, just maybe YOU need to become a better friend.

If you do have friends like that then take a step back and relish into the thought:
