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 where ever I am
I'll come running to see you again.
Winter, spring, summer, or fall, all you have to do is call and I'll be there, 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.
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 have to do is call and I'll be there.
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 where ever I am
I'll come running to see you again.
Winter, spring, summer, or fall, all you have to do is call, Lord, I'll be there, yeah, yeah,
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.
Oh, yeah, yeah, you've got a friend.
I planned to sing this song to my best friend, Nurul Najwa binti Ghazali as her birthday was yesterday.
But due to myself being an idiot of not remembering that she changed her number, I didn't get to call her on that day(I phoned her old number, while actually having her new one in my contacts). I never found someone more analogous to the song meaning, which reflects my feelings towards a true blue friend who struck by me in every aspect of my emotional state. Whether I'm happy, crazy, jealous, or in the lowest point of my self-esteem, she never failed to keep me upright and make notice that she was always there. I remember sitting alone and looking rather sour, no one dared to approach me. I felt rather neglected, but she was the only person looking at me to catch how I looked and made sure a smile formed on my face while she presented hers.
I really can't say the same to any friend I have right now, I mean, they're all really nice and I love them dearly, but no one has ever treated me like she did. I sat down alone in the cafeteria today, not anyone of my friends said hi or asked why I was sitting alone or even offered themselves to sit with me. It wasn't a big deal, I mean, being alone wasn't a big deal. It's my nature to sit alone when eating in MRSM. Only one of those people said hi to me, the others..I don't know. Whether it's because they were unaware of my presence or they were afraid to say hi to me...it hurts that they don't even try. I don't feel like I'm treated like a friend.
But that's alright, if that's the way this world wants to treat me. Ignored when alone, ostracized. I have no problem with being alone. A teacher once asked me why I always ate alone in the cafe in MRSM. Really? why did he ask such a thing? It's not awful sitting by yourself to eat. You get more time to chew on your food because no one's waiting for you to finish, or you can quicken your eating speed because you don't have to wait for anyone else and carry on with your tasks. It seems so stereotypical to acquaint loneliness with weirdness or oddness. I'm normal as normal can be, I don't need people to be around me to complement that. And it's annoying when people straight away call you anti-social just because you prefer being in your room to do things you want to do. I'm not afraid of the world, I can get out to explore whenever I want to.
phew, this is more like a confession than a Great Music post O_o. Gonna stop now.
