The lyrics are so Timeless & Classic...like someone givin' you horrible advice to be thankful & grateful, when you're experiencing extreme hardships that aren't normal & you're already prayin'to the Savior for relief. This cleverly soothing affirmation gives the reminder 'bout Fair Weather'd friends are strangers & the Everlastingly friend comes from within yourself.
In other words, you're the best friend....that will never let you down!!!🌹🌹🌹
