I Need You

I need you so I can be your neighbor
I need you so I can be your friend
I need you so I can be who I am
Who I am, I am your friend

You need me so you can be your neighbor
You need me so you can be my friend
You need me so you can be who you are
Who you are, you are my friend

A bird needs air for its wings to fly
A boat needs water to float
A teacher needs students who want to know why
An election needs a vote
Or a lining needs a coat...just as

I need you so I can be who I am
You need me so you can be yourself
We both need each other so we can be who we are
Who we are, we are friends

We both need each other, so we can be each other's
We can be each other's friend
