Month of Michael Day 7

Song: Ben
Artist: Michael Jackson

Such a beautiful song that Michael sang so well! Even though it's from a strange sounding movie of the same name (one I have never seen), I still love the song and the meaning of the song. All it takes is one good friend that can make a world of difference, even if that friend happens to be small and furry. I know having my dog has been a life saver for me, he's my best friend. I would be so lonely and miserable without him! So I guess, in a way, this song is dedicated to my sweet, furry friend. I love you so much!!

Ben, the two of us need look no more
We both found what we were looking for
With a friend to call my own
I'll never be alone
And you my friend will see
You've got a friend in me
(You've got a friend in me)

Ben, you're always running here and there
(Here and there)
You feel you're not wanted anywhere
(Anywhere)
If you ever look behind
And don't like what you find
There's something you should know
You've got a place to go
(You've got a place to go)

I used to say "I" and "me"
Now it's "us", now it's "we"
(I used to say "I" and "me"
Now it's "us", now it's "we")

Ben, most people would turn you away
I don't listen to a word they say
They don't see you as I do
I wish they would try to
I'm sure they'd think again
If they had a friend like Ben
(A friend)
Like Ben
(Like Ben)
Like Ben 

Love hearing an older Michael sing this beautiful song :)
