We end things off with a ballad featuring call-and-response and round singing, about being a supportive presence, with real-life examples.

Lyrics:
You’re lyin’ in bed, can’t seem to move
You’re sick and it’s been a bad day
I’ll sit by your side and read to you
Until you’re feeling okay
(Chorus:)
I’ll be there for you
Because I care for you
When times are bad, and you are sad
I will be there for you
You’re working on math, but it’s got you stumped
Your frustration builds ‘till you shout
Two heads can be much better than one
I’ll help you figure it out
(Chorus – call & response)
Your friend moved away, and you’re feelin’ down
You’re wond’ring if you’ll see them again
I’ll do my best to make you smile
You still have me as a friend
(Chorus – 4-part round)
