Verse 1
When the road felt long and hard
And my courage felt so small
You were like a light beside me
Helping me stand straight and tall
Every word you gave was gentle
Every action kept me near
And somehow your thoughtful presence
Calmed the daily fears

Verse 2
When I couldn’t find my footing
You became the ground I knew
Every step I took was easier
Because I walked with you
You believed in me when I did not
You saw strength I couldn’t see
And your quiet gift of caring
Brought life back into me

Chorus
So thank you for your friendship
For all you say and do
Your strength became my blessing
And I am better because of you

Verse 3
When the battle became heavy
You were there to light the way
Every word you spoke brought courage
And helped my fear give way
You reminded me of who I am
Through each and every day
No matter what the cancer gave
Your strength showed me the way

Bridge
There’s a meaning to your friendship
That this illness can’t undo
Your courage keeps shining brighter
And sees me safely through
You lift me with quiet power
It just seems to be your way
Every second we fight together
Brings the hope into my day

Chorus
So thank you for your friendship
For all you say and do
Your strength became my blessing
And I am better because of you

Outro
So here’s my thanks for every day
You never let me fall
For every time you chose to stay
And answered when I called
You became the proof that kindness
Is with all you say and do
And with your friendship in my life
I am better because of you
