Just Be A Friend
Arranged By — Kenton Nix, Van Gibbs
Written-By — Henry Batts, Kenton Nix
Background: Just be a friend
Just be a friend
The people that we see on the street,
They smile and don’t even speak
And the only thing that makes it worse
Is neither one wants to speak first
You call it being strong
I’m sorry but it’s all wrong
And oh it’s such a sin
Because the problems no deeper than skin
Background: Just be a friend
Just be a friend
Got to get ourselves together
now, cause now’s the time to start
Can’t do as much living now
Cause now we’ve got to do our part
Not love for just man and wife
But love for all of life
A pleasant smile you’ll find
Means the same for all mankind
And now we’re hung up in color
And we should be trying to love one another
We’re thinking about white and black
Lord knows that ain’t where it’a at
We’re thinking about yellow and red
The black is only in your head
You say you’re a strong man
Let me see you shake his hand
Background: Just be a friend
Just be a friend
How that all my hate is gone
I feel that I can carry on
The feeling I get from the song
It picks me up and makes me strong
