When you feel your heart drowning in sadness
And the tears fall from your eyes unrestrained
I will be there to give you comfort
I will never fail or hesitate

Chorus:
So you should never be afraid to ride the pony
For the pony will always take you home
It may take awhile and many roads to get there
Just remember, you never ride alone

Friendship is like the faithful pony
Waiting patiently beside the gate
He will be there for you when you are lonely
And he'll always help you find your way

Chorus:

There were times when I felt alone and friendless
And afraid to take a helping hand
But your love for me was patient and endless
And you gave me strong shoulders to lean on

Chorus: twice
