BEN

By MICHAEL JACKSON

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

Thank You for Being a Friend

Thank you for being a friend

Traveled down the road and back again

Your heart is true you're a pal and a confidant

I'm not ashamed to say

I hope it always to say

I hope it always will stay this way

My hat is off, won't you stand up and take a bow?

And if you threw a party

Invited everyone you knew

You would see, the biggest gift would be from me

And the card attached would say,

"Thank you for being a friend"

Thank you for being a friend (3x)

QUESTION

The word in the lyric that is the synonym of friend is...

Like a small boat

On the ocean

Sending big waves

Into motion

Like how a single word

Can make a heart open

I might only have one match

But I can make an explosion

And all those things I didn't say

Wrecking balls inside my brain

I will scream them loud tonight

Can you hear my voice this time?

This is my fight song

Take back my life song

Prove I'm alright song

My power's turned on

Starting right now I'll be strong

I'll play my fight song

And I don't really care if nobody else believes

'Cause I've still got a lot of fight left in me
