Lyrics

Always remember my friend,
The world will change again.
And you may have to come back
Through everywhere you've been.
When your life was low,
You had nowhere to go.
People turned their backs on you,
And everybody said that you were through.
I took you in, made you strong again
Put you back together.
Out of all the dreams you left along the way,
You left me shining.
Now you're doing well
From stories I hear tell.
You own the world again.
Everyone's your friend.
Although I never hear from you,
Still it's nice to know
You used to love me so,
When your life was low.
I took you in. I made you strong again.
I put you back together.
Out of all the dreams you left along the way,
You left me shining
Now you're doing well
From stories I hear tell.
You own the world again.
Everyone's your friend.
Although I never hear from you,
Still it's nice to know
You used to love me so,
You used to love me so,
When your life was low.
But always remember my friend,
The world will change again.
And you may have to come back
Through everywhere you've been.
The world will change again.
Written by: Joe Sample, Will Jennings
