In the back of the classroom, he sat real still,
A quiet boy with dreams he’d never spill.
Lunch breaks came, and he sat alone,
Watching laughter, feeling unknown.
He tried to say"hi" but they laughed too loud,
Lost his voice in the middle of the crowd.
He wrote in his notebook, wishing it would end,
Just a simple hope — to find one friend.
He’s looking for a hand to hold,
A voice that says,"You’re not alone."
On the steps, in the dark, where hopes ascend,
He’s just looking for a true a true friend.
Not someone perfect, just someone near,
To laugh with him and draw him near.
Through all the walks and the nights he’ll send,
He’s looking for a true a true friend.
He walked down Main where the streetlights hum,
Saw kids skate past, but no one would come.
Tried to smile, helped a girl with her bike,
She said"thanks," but disappeared like the night.
Sat on the curb with a dog by his side,
Shared his chips, with no one to confide.
The city moved fast, like it didn’t see,
That behind those eyes was a heart set free.
He’s looking for a hand to hold,
A voice that says,"You’re not alone."
On the steps, in the dark, where hopes ascend,
He’s just looking for a true a true friend.
Not someone perfect, just someone near,
To laugh with him and draw him near.
Through all the walks and the nights he’ll send,
He’s looking for a true a true friend.
Then one day at the corner store,
He dropped his coins on the wooden floor.
A boy picked them up, gave a gentle grin,
Said,"I live just next door, wanna come in?"
They played old games, kicked a ball till ten,
Laughed so hard, they lost count again.
And in that light, he finally knew,
That sometimes friendship finds you too.
He was looking for a hand to hold,
A voice that said,"You’re not alone."
From the classroom cold to the evening bend,
He found his way to a true a true friend.
Not someone perfect, but someone kind,
Who saw the spark he'd left behind.
Now side by side, hearts on the mend,
He found his true a true friend.
