THERE’S A SCHOOL IN MAPLE RIDGE THAT GET A LOT OF LOOKS

THE TEACHERS THERE DO CRAZY THINGS, THE KIND NOT TAUGHT IN BOOKS

THEY’LL BEAT THE DRUM TO HELP YOU DANCE AND IF YOU NEED A FRIEND

THEY’LL BE THERE, EVERY MOMENT, ON THAT YOU CAN DEPEND

YOU GOT FRIENDS WHO’LL HELP YOU CHILL

AND IN YOU THEY BELIEVE

YOU GOT FRIENDS, THE FAITHFUL KIND

YOU GOT FRIENDS SO HAVE A HAPPY LIFE

IF YOU’VE FALLEN TOO MANY TIMES AND YOU THINK YOU’VE LOST ALL HOPE

THEY’LL BE THERE WITH A GREAT BIG SMILE AND SAY “HEY DON’T BE SUCH A DOPE”

DON’T GO BELIEVIN’ NASTY LIES OF THE CRITICIZIN’ KIND

YOU CAN CLIMB ANY MOUNTAIN, CHILD, ONE STEP AT A TIME

CHORUS

SO DON’T FORGET TO DOT YOUR “I’s” AND ALWAYS CROSS YOUR “T’s”

SAY HELLO AND SHOW SOME KINDNESS TO SOMEONE WHO’S IN NEED

THERE’S MOM AND DAD AND ALL THESE FOLKS WHO CARE MORE THAN YOU KNOW

SO NEVER, EVER, THINK MY FRIEND, YOU ARE ALL ALONE

^BRIDGE

WE ALL LEARN, EVERYDAY, A LITTLE AT A TIME

FOR SOME FOLK IT COMES EASY AND FOR OTHERS IT’S A FIGHT

CHORUS 2X

One of the fundraising activities that I did at Westview Secondary was to make a Video Yearbook and sell it to the graduating students for support of the Ugandan orphans. This was one of the ten songs on the Dvd.
