Depend on no man, on no friend but him who can depend on himself. He only who acts conscientiously toward himself, will act so toward others.

If You Just Give Me Freedom
If you just give me freedom,
On me you know you can depend,
On me...
You can depend.
If you just give me freedom,
On me you know you can depend,
On me...
You can depend.
With your love,
Give me freedom and you'll see...
On me,
You can depend.
On me you can depend.
Your faith in me will never end.
Give me freedom and you'll see...
On me,
You can depend.
On me you can depend.
A lover like no other lover.
Give me freedom and you'll see...
On me,
You can depend.
On me you can depend.
But I'm not the kind you think,
You can settle down to overload.
I'm not that ready.
And on 'that' you can depend.
If you just give me freedom,
On me you know you can depend,
On me...
You can depend.
If you just give me freedom,
On me you know you can depend,
On me...
You can depend.
But I'm not the kind you think,
You can settle down to overload.
I'm not that ready.
And on 'that' you can depend.

Reach Out, Ill Be There

And your life is filled with confusion
And hapiness is just an illusion
And your world around is tumblin down
Darling, reach out
Reach out, reach out
Ill give you all the love you need
Ill be there
You can always depend on me
I can tell by the way you hang your head
Your with out of love, now youre afraid
And through your tears you look around
But theres no peace of mind to be found
I know what youre thinking
Youre alone now, no love of your own
Darling, reach out
Reach out for me boy
Ill give you all the love you need
Ill be there
Hey baby, Im gonna be right there
You can always depend on me
You can always, depend on me

You can always, cuddle mee, see you through
You can always, depend on me

You can always depend on me
You can always depend on me
You can always depend on me
You can always depend on me
You can always depend on me
You can always depend on me
You can always depend on me
You can always depend on me
When youre lost and about to give up
cause your best aint good enough
And you feel the world has grown cold
And youre driftin on your own
When you need a hand to hold
When you need a little love
Reach out, Ill be there
Reach out, Ill be there
Reach out, Ill be there
To give you all the love you need
Ill try ro give you all the love you need
Ill be there to love and shelter you
Ill be there to always see you through
To give you all the love you need
Im gonna give you all the love you need
Ill be there to love and shelter you
Ill be there to always see you through
To give you all the love you need

Depend On Me
When you're losin' direction
Baby you can depend on me
For a little love and affection
You can depend on me
If ya feel brokenhearted and you just can't get started
You can depend on me
Ya know it's never easy and when you're feelin' blue
There'll be times you feel so empty
Ya sometimes I feel it too
Like sister to brother - father to mother
We live for each other - we're lover to lover
As deep as an ocean - filled with emotion
I'm forever open - can't you see
Baby you can depend on me
Depend on me - depend on me
For someone to rely on and a shoulder to cry on
You can depend on me
If you're in need of some kindness
And you can't seem to find it
You can depend on me
Well there ain't no need to worry you know we'll get along
Those dark clouds may surround you
But together we'll be strong
Like sister to brother - father to mother
We live for each other - we're lover to lover
As deep as an ocean - filled with emotion
I'm forever open - can't you see
Baby you can depend on me
Depend on me - depend on me
Your love is a guiding light
I've been watchin' it shine - shine on baby
When hard times are all around
And there's miles and miles of dirty road - depend on me
There's no need to carry that heavy load - depend on me
When hope is gone and all is lost
Just reach out - take my hand
I'll be there - I'll be your man
Depend on me

You need the words, you need the script, you need the material, you need the commitment, you need the passion, it's like we depend on writers, we depend on producers, directors depend on us and once things are in the divine order as they happen.
Pushing The Senses
Finishing avenue
Pulling you under now
Your fighting the undertow
Before it sucks you down
Pushing the senses
It's pushing the senses now
Come on come on
What are you going to do
You can't find another day
Come on come on
You're pushing the senses
You're pushing the senses through
Always, I can depend on you
But sometimes
It's burning a hole right through
Let's talk about it
Staring at photographs
Post it on the wall
Images smiling down
The face of a lonely soul
Come on come on
What are you going to do
You can't find another day
Come on come on
You're pushing the senses
You're pushing the senses through
Always
'cause I can depend on you
But sometimes
I'm finding it hard to choose
Let's talk about it
Always
I can depend on you
But sometimes
It's burning a hole right through
Let's talk about it
Let's talk about it
Always
I can depend on you
But sometimes
Sometimes
Always
I can depend on you
But sometimes
It's burning a hole right through
Let's talk about it
Always
I can depend on you
But sometimes
It's burning a hole right through
Keep pushing the senses through
Let's talk about us

You Give Me Something
You give me somethin' i can depend upon
Just like the sun after the rain has gone
We're living in unusual times
The picture's changing everyday
It's hard to know which way to turn
There's a minefield whichever way
I see people runnin' everywhere now
All gettin' nowhere fast
I'm so glad i have something to believe in
Our love is built to last
You give me somethin' i can depend upon
Just like the sun after the rain has gone
So many times you've saved my life
I don't count 'em anymore
But i remember everyone
And i'm just glad you're not keepin' score
I feel like i'm guided by an angel
And i know just what it's worth
I never wonder if the grass is any greener
My heaven's here on earth
You give me somethin' i can depend upon
Something so deep i know i can't go wrong
I don't need to worry, you're
Everything i need
And i know my satisfaction's gauranteed
You give me somethin' i can depend upon
Just like the sun after the rain has gone
You give me somethin' i can depend upon
Something so deep i know where i belong

Half An Hour Of Your Happiness
Your heart is in my hand
I am looking after half an hour of your happiness
I am imagining your sad smile
It seems you depend on me too much
I can feel your heart beating
I am putting it into your half an hour of happiness
It is in a safe place in my hand
It seems you depend on me too much
The rhythm of your heart is getting faster
It is happy in your half an hour of happiness
They are in my shaking unsteady hand
It seems you depend on me too much
Your heart wants to jump out of the cage
Called your half an hour of happiness
I am holding them with both hands and trembling
It seems you depend on me too much
Your heart has gone crazy and I do not know why
I wonder if it will survive your half an hour of happiness
I open my hands and I see two embraced hearts
It seems I depend on you too much

Youre A Friend Of Mine
Youre a friend of mine
(performed by clarence clemons & jackson browne on the clarence clemons album
Hero)
Striking out?
Well count me in
Im gonna stand right by your side through thick or thin
Aint no doubt
Gonna win
A walk through hell aint bad compared to where weve been
Oh you can depend on me
Over and over... over and over
Know that I intend to be
The one who who always makes you laugh until you cry
And you can call on me until the day you die
Years may come and go
Heres one thing I know
All my life
Youre a friend of mine
That argument
I cant forget
We fought so hard I dont think Ive recovered yet
The girls we knew
Who thought you were cool
I never introduced my favorite ones to you
Oh you can depend on me
Over and over... over and over
Know that I intend to be
The one who who always makes you laugh until you cry
And you can call on me until the day you die
Years may come and go
Heres one thing I know
All my life
Youre a friend of mine
Oh you can depend on me
Over and over... over and over
Know that I intend to be
The one who who always makes you laugh until you cry
And you can call on me until the day you die
Years may come and go
Heres one thing I know
All my life
Youre a friend of mine
Oh you can depend on me
Ill be fine
Cause youre a friend of mine
Yeeaah
Ill be fine
Cause youre a friend of mine

Have a friend?
Do you have a friend that you care about?
A friend you care about so much you just want to shout.
A friend you know that you can count on,
A friend you would shread tears, if they were gone.
Is there a friend you would go the extra mile for?
A mind they have, that you just want to explore.
A friend you know of which upon you can depend,
A friend you wish nothing to amend.
Is there a friend you know will hold true?
A friend you would want to be there, even at your biggest debut.
A friend that can do anything that you, they can not ashame.
A friend that would be with you even when you are in pain.

My Friend...
We all need someone
To talk to in our life,
A friend to whom we run
In times of stress or strife
A friend who's always there
Throughout the years,
A friend we know will care
And take away our fears.
A friend who's always near,
Waiting for our call,
To wipe away our tears,
And lift us when we fall.
A loving friend indeed,
On whom we can depend
To fulfill our every need -
Thank you, precious friend

Accept It As It Is
You don't like it?
You don't have to.
It does not depend,
On what attitude you are in.
It's a celebration.
Not an ego inflation.
This is far greater than your opinions.
And nothing about it awaits decisions!
You don't like it?
You don't have to.
It does not depend,
On what attitude you are in.
Or the confines of your mind...
It controls and defines.
And it does what it likes.
Whether or not you put up a fight.
You are just a pawn.
And this point it's going to make of it.
As it drives you into a mental fit.
If you are not willing to accept it as it is!
And it is all that and more.

All The Way
It doesnt take a genius
To tell me what I am
Or lecture me with poetry
And tell me that I can
I dont remember
What happened yesterday
But I dont give a damn about
What all those people say
It takes years to find the nerve
To be apart from what youve done
To find the truth inside yourself
And not depend on anyone
It takes years to find the nerve
To be apart from what youve done
To find the truth inside yourself
And not depend on anyone
It dont take no houdini
To tell me what I am
Parasites and literasites
Theyd burn me if they can
But I dont give a damn about
What those people say
They pick you up and kick you out
They hurt you every day
It takes years to find the nerve
To be apart from what youve done
To find the truth inside yourself
And not depend on anyone
It takes years to find the nerve
To be apart from what youve done
To find the truth inside yourself
And not depend on anyone
It takes years to find the nerve
To be apart from what youve done
To find the truth inside yourself
And not depend on anyone
It takes years to find the nerve
To be apart from what youve done
To find the truth inside yourself
And not depend on anyone

Your Friend A Friend For Lifetime
Acquaintances are many but friends are very rare
For with a true and trusting friend your secrets you can share
Your friend will comfort you and advise you and you will not betray
Your friend will never disown you and as your friend will stay
When others do not wish to know you your friend as your friend remain
And feel lucky in your lifetime if one loyal friend you gain
Your friend will always stand by you no matter come what may
And when you ask your friend for help your friend will not turn you away
No your friend will stand by you when you are feeling down
When others shun you as if you were an outcast of the town
Acquaintances like Nature's Seasons they come to your life and go
But your friend a friend for lifetime and the bond of friendship grow
And the one who betrays your trust could never be your friend
Your friend to you is ever true and one on whom you can depend.

I Will Always Need Your Love
In the book of my life
Till the day that it's through
You know most of the pages belong to you
Every interesting chapter
Every twist, every turn
You're my willing accomplice to the lessons
I've learned
Till the end of the story
I'll be riveted
And when I write my dedication I'll say
I will always need your love
Wish I could write it in the daily news
I will always need your love
It would be very hard to fill your shoes
I will always need your love
So many ways that I depend on you
I will always need your love
No one else, no one else, could love me like you
You know all of my faults
Every strengh, every quirk
You can dictate a handbook on the way that I work
Many towering hurdles
You've helped me climb
What was already great is even better with time
You've discovered each secret
Every fantasy
The only thing I really need you to see
I will always need your love
Wish I could write it in the daily news
I will always need your love
It would be very hard to fill your shoes
I will always need your love
So many ways that I depend on you
I will always need your love
No one else, no one else, could love me like you
I will always need your love
Wish I could write it in the daily news
I will always need your love
It would be very hard to fill your shoes
I will always need your love
So many ways that I depend on you
I will always need your love
No one else, no one else, no one else could love me like you
I will always need your love
I will always need your love
I will always need your love
...always need your love
I will always need your love
So many ways that I depend on you
I will always need your love
No one else, no one else, could love me like you
I will always need your love

You Always Need a Friend
You always need a friend
Someone to be by your side
From beginning to the end
Through the ups and downs of this roller coaster ride
You always need a friend
That is generous and caring
Who will help you fix what's ruined
And laugh at what you're wearing
You always need a friend
Who has a good sense of humor
And will put to an end
If they heard wrong of you in a rumor
You always need a friend
That you can trust with anything
Someone that you could depend
On and talk to about everything
This person should be treasured
Because they are your best friend
Their friendship doesn't have to be measured
Since they will be there until the end
