When you're tired and worn
At the close of the day,
And things just don't seem
To be going your way,

When even your patience
Has come to an end,
Try taking time out
And confide in a friend.

Perhaps your friend may
Have walked the same road,
With a troubled heart
And a burdensome load,

To find peace and comfort
Near the end -
When he stopped long enough
To confide in a friend.

For then are most welcome,
A few words of cheer,
For someone who willingly
Lends you an ear.

No troubles exist
That God cannot mend,
But to get quick relief,
Just confide in a friend.
