When a Friend Needs Different Things Than You

When a friend needs different things than you
There are some things you can do

Today I met a brand new friend and learned just what he needs
He takes his time with somethign new, he likes to watch and see
I can play the way he likes and that's okay
My new friend likes to have fun in his own way

When a friend needs different things than you
There are some things you can do

Sometimes noises seem too loud and that can make him frown
But he has his special things that can help to calm him down
I can play quieter and that's okay
He likes to have fun in his own way

When a friend needs different things than you
There are some things you can do

. . .

When a friend needs different things than you
There are some things you can do

Sometimes a friend needs a bit more help
Sometimes they can't find the words to say
Sometimes a friend needs a bit more time
Before they decide to join and play

When a friend needs different things than you
There are some things you can do

You can help them feel good with what you do or say
You can be extra calm or change how you play

When a friend needs different things than you
There are some things you can do
