"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
