When the going gets tough
walking through the rough
hand in hand with a friend
is what it takes to find out
who is your real, true friend.
Egotistic good time friends
never seem to be around
while you are down and out
when no deal is to be found
even if you plea and shout.
The truth of the loyal friend
appears in days of distress
because you're part of them
they'll stand by you till the end
such is the meaning, 'God sent'.
Friendship is not a paper deal
no signature, no oath, no seal
a spirit that can touch and heal
as a result of the way they feel
a genuine, true friend is for real.
