You've got a friend

Sunday I was working around the house and listening to the radio (actually I was streaming music to my phone... the evil impact of technology...). A song came up that I have known for most of my life now: Carol King's "You've got a friend", performed by James Taylor.

As I was listening to the words, I found myself looking at them differently:

"When you're down and troubled,
And you need a helping hand,
And nothing is going right... "

Which one of us has not had days like this?

"Close your eyes and think of me,
And soon I will be there,
To brighten up even your darkest night... "

Who is it that is always there, just waiting for us to call?

"You just call out my name,
And you know wherever I am,
I'll come running to see you again.

"Winter, spring, summer or fall,
All you have to do is call,
And I'll be there...
You've got a friend! "

He is always there: my brother and friend, even the Lord Jesus Christ.

TOTD: Any lyrics that relate to friendship can and should be seen in a similar fashion. Ex: "You've got a friend in me" by Randy Newman (theme from Toy Story).
