Gift of a Friend
Demi Lovato Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Cause a dream is a wish you make all alone
It's easy to feel like you don't need help
But it's harder to walk on your own
You'll change inside
When You realize
The world comes to life
From beginning to end
When you have a friend by your Side
That helps you to find
The beauty you are
When You'll Open Your Heart and
Believe in
The Gift of a Friend(x2)
Someone Who knows When Your Lost and Your Scared
There through The Highs and The Lows
Someone You Can Count On, Someone Who Cares
Besides You Where Ever You Go
You'll Change Inside
When You
Realize
The World Comes To Life
and Everything's right
From Beginning To End
When You Have a Friend
By Your Side
That Helps You To Find
The Beauty you are
When You'll Open Your Heart and
Believe in

Hi
Elevators of Steel City
I don’t get why this song receives so little attention. It’s got a powerful message, and more schools should play this more often.
