Intro

Once again I find myself asking the same old question

 Why in the world have I been so stupid

I got caught up in the ways of the world

 Only to be let down

 Only to be let down again

I thought I could make it on my own

 Forgetting that I am

 Forgetting that I am just a man

I put my trust in my so called friends

 Only to be let down

 Only to be let down again

Chorus

But You were there all the time

Waiting for me to reach out and take your hand

You picked me off of the ground

 You set me back on my feet

 You are my best friend

You're always right here by my side

 Ready to cheer me on

 You are my best friend

Interlude 1

Verse 2

I can't make it on my own

 I realize I am just

 I realize I am just, just a man

So I put my trust where I know it's secure

 I'll never be let down

 I'll never be let down again

Chorus

2x)

But You were there all the time

Waiting for me to reach out and take your hand

You picked me off of the ground

 You set me back on my feet

 You are my best friend

You're always right here by my side

 Ready to cheer me on

 You are my best friend

 You are my best friend
