[Verse 1: Goapele]
I've been in some hard times, I've seen a lot of good times
But every day I count my blessings this way
'Cause I know that every day's a different day
My friends can change but his will never change
And I knew there would be some time
When I would second guess my mind

[Refrain: Raphael Saadiq with Goapele]
What we do, y'all?
So I kept on walking, kept on striving
Kept on singing and guess who showed up

[Verse 2: Raphael Saadiq]
As I walked down the street one day, I thought I heard a brother say
'Living in bad conditions can make you feel like no one is on your side'
That's why I always try and do my best to search inside
But I knew it would be a day
When I had to look the other way

[Refrain: Raphael Saadiq, Goapele]
So I close my eyes and kept on pushin' (Kept on pushin')
Just stopped looking (Just stopped looking)
And guess who showed up (Guess who showed up?)

[Verse 3: Ledisi]
I told myself one day (Uh-huh) to fall to my knees and pray
And never listen to no one if they can't be true to you
No one should spend precious time living for material things
His money, no money, no money (What?) can make me happy
Now it looks a lot clearer outside 'cause I'm using my eyes, yeah
[Refrain: Raphael Saadiq, Ledisi]
I close my eyes and (Hey) Kept on pushing (Pushing)
Just stopped looking (Oh) and guess who showed up
My friend what?

[Bridge: Raphael Saadiq, Goapele & Ledisi]
My friend won't let you down, yeah
He's always been around
That's one thing I know for sure
Even when I'm wrong, He's right at my door
He'll never ignore

[Verse 4: Raphael Saadiq]
Yes, I got a lotta things to say, I can't say them in all one day
I'll take no credit for the blessings that He's given to me
Without Him I know that Saadiq could never, ever, ever be
See, check it out, y'all
When I thought it couldn't get no better — it's a true story, too
When I thought it was almost over, oh no

[Refrain: Raphael Saadiq]
I close my eyes and kept on pushin' (I kept pushin')
Just stopped looking (Just stopped looking) and guess who showed up
(Guess who showed up)

[Outro: Raphael Saadiq, Ledisi]
My friend won't let you down, uh-huh
He's always been around
That's one thing I know for sure
Even when I'm wrong, He's right at my door
(If you know the words, sing along, if you don't, catch on)
My friend won't let you down, yeah (He's always been around)
