Story Behind The Song
We needed a catchy lead song for the album and this is it. Kids love is because they know the meaning of friendship. It really reinforces the idea that its good to be with friends and to do things together. It feels like a tribute to ABC, but its totally a new piece of work - only part of the baseline and rhythm are similar.
Song Description
Written as a cross between Blowing in the Wind by Dylan and ABC by the Jacksons. Kids love to sing it and it has proved very popular locally.

Lyrics
Chorus
Come with me - together we can build a world
Run with me - running, we can chase the day
Walk with me - together we can move along
Talk with me - talking, helps to find a way, find a way today.
Verse 1
a man on his own, can't build a house
he?s all alone, he?s down and out
but friends can help, and friends can care,
and work together anywhere
Verse 2
one lonely girl can?t share her thoughts
she?s all wound up and out of sorts
but friends can help, and friends can care,
and work together anywhere
Verse 3
a woman alone can?t change the world,
stop the wars or fight the cold
but friends can help, and friends can care,
and work together anywhere
Verse 4
one lonely boy can?t play a game
no football, cricket, such a shame
but friends can help, and friends can care,
and work together anywhere
