"Asking For A Friend"

How much wrong

Can one man do?

How much hurt

Can he live through?

Asking for a friend.

How far down

Can one man fall?

Before he finally

Loses it all?

Asking for a friend.

I'm asking for a friend.

Someone you don't know.

A man close to the end.

Falling as fast as he can go.

It's crazy, no one knows.

An alarm he'll never send.

All that pain that never shows.

I'm asking for a friend. 

What would you do,
What would you say,
If you found out
How he hurt today?

Asking for a friend.

Could you join him

In the dark?

Be his light?

Be the spark?

Asking for a friend.

Would you take his hand

And hold him tight?

Tell him that

He'll be alright?

Asking for a friend.

Yeah, I'm asking for a friend.
