Fiona McFall, who is 38 and has lived with Cancer for the past three and a half years, is very active in promoting Tak Tent a cancer charity support group The song A Friend Like You was originally written by Glyn Morrall simply to express the feelings of her friends, and offer encouragement to Fiona. However the universal message in the song seemed to touch many of those hearing it, in unexpected ways.
So many requests for copies of the song were being received, often with friends in mind that a studio production has been made available, which can now be purchased in CD form, or as a download.

Lyrics
A friend like you doesn't come along
many times on this journey
A friend like you makes it easier
to take the knocks and still stand.
I do not have the words to tell you how I feel
I do not have the voice to speak of things so deep
CHORUS
You are my friend and yes I love you
we are one and the same
and you are blessed and beloved
I never knew it was true
I'd find a friend like you
Someone like you never needs to feel
alone in times of sadness
My friend you light the way
show me the things that really matter
I speak of now the joy you show me how to give
this worlds a better place because
CHORUS
Your a precious gift to me
your the reason I believe.
