[Verse 1: Trey Lorenz]
Do you live your life for pleasure
Trust in things you can't see
Seeking after peace and freedom
But never finding the key
Well, my son, hear my instructions
Wisdom crieth in the streets
How long will you despise wisdom
And love simplicity
'Cause when your fears cometh
Like a dark and endless flood
And your mortal strength has failed you
And there's no one to lift you up
To lift you up, oh
[Chorus: Trey Lorenz, BeBe Winans]
For the day is coming
(The time) Time is approaching
(So don't) Don't you be left here all alone, no
'Cause you're gonna need somebody
A special someone to call your own
When troubles come
Lord, I need a friend
Lord, I need a friend
When troubles come
You're gonna need a friend
You're gonna need a friend
[Verse 2: Trey Lorenz]
See, I thought my life was hopeless
And my problems out of reach
I heard He gave to all men
Yet still bound by unbelief
So until my eyes were opened
I just lived a life of fear
Just wondering what would happen
With trouble being so near
Trouble being so near
[Chorus: Trey Lorenz, BeBe Winans]
For the day is coming
(The time) Time is approaching
(So don't) Don't you be left here all alone, no
'Cause you're gonna need somebody
A special someone to call your own
When troubles come
Lord, I need a friend (Oh, oh, oh)
Lord, I need a friend
When troubles come
You're gonna need a friend
You're gonna need a friend
[Outro: Trey Lorenz, BeBe Winans]
But today I know Somebody (Somebody)
A special Somebody (Somebody)
Yes, One whom I can, I can depend upon, yeah
That will be there, there when I'm needing
Oh, there when friends forsake me
I'm not all alone
When troubles come
Ooh, Jesus, when troubles, when they come
