We Need Our Mates

If we get into a state
We need a mate
When times have come on hard
and we've had enough
When we just can't stay calm
and life's too rough
The people around us
The people who care
They're the ones who save us
From our own despair
So don't forget your friends
In any time of strife
Even when they take you to wit's end
When they act like a blunt knife
Reach out to one another
Because we need each other
