Meeting people is easy
But a good friend is hard to find
Faces coming and leaving
Moving fast like the hands of time

But we all need someone that we can rely on
Somebody who will always keep the light on

For the hard days that go sideways
And the good ones too
For the heartbreaks and the mistakes
That we all go through
For the moments and the memories
For the dark skies and the blue
Thank God I got a friend like you
Thank God I got a friend like you

I'm so grateful you've been there
More times than I can count
I'm so grateful you've carried me
Like a bridge over troubled ground

Cause we all need someone that we can rely on
Somebody who will always keep the light on

And wherever in this crazy life we go
I'll be there for you, I hope you know

For the hard days that go sideways
And the good ones too
For the heartbreaks and the mistakes
That we all go through
For the moments and the memories
For the dark skies and the blue
Thank God I got a friend like you
Thank God I got a friend like you
Yeah There's family that you're given
And there's family that you choose
Thank God I got a friend like you
