(Yeah...What's a best friend....But the smell before the rain? The hand that we give, When a friend is in pain...ohhhh...yeahhhh) It's the things that we do, The words that we say That pulls a friend through, When their heart's torn away It's the steps that we take, The songs that we sing It's the choices we make, And the hope that we bring Friends are there through the tears, There through the laughter, here now and hereafter. Yeah x2 (What's a best friend, But the smell before the rain? The hand that we give, When a friend is in pain) (It's the things we give up; The things we give in When our heart's full of love, And selfless begins) X2 It's the hearts that we touch, The things that we won't We never give up, We could, but we don't It's the people we save, With the hands that we give when we're lost, we still say, you're my reason to live I'm here through the pain, I'm here through the laughter Here now and hereafter. (What's a best friend, But the smell before the rain? The hand that we give, When a friend is in pain) When tears fall from my eyes, your there to brush them away. When Im lost in confusion, you're there to say that everything will be okay. and When I stand before you falling apart, you're there to give me yur heart. When I feel like no one can understand, you're there to take my hand. And when no one else is left to care, you're my friend that's always there!! (It's the things we give up; The things we give in When our heart's full of love, And selfless begins) X2 (Who is this friend... Jesus... my Jesus is my friend... my helping hand, my saving grace, my soft embrace, my solid rock and my safe place... thats my friend...Jesus... thats my friend)
