It was written in the sand
As clear as a pen to paper "I wish I had a friend"
A young girl wrote it with tears on her face
As children laughed and played around her
Yet with all those children
there stood one alone
No one saw her
No one cared
As if she were invisible she walked away
Alone and friendless
My heart goes out to this child
But someday a good friend she'll find
I to have wished for a friend
When all was dark
I to have written it down
In my mind a time or two
But now as time has passed
The notes I write
Are to the lost

It was written in the sand
As clear as a pen to paper "I wish I had a friend"
A young girl wrote it with tears on her face
As children laughed and played around her
Yet with all those children
there stood one alone
No one saw her
No one cared
As if she were invisible she walked away
Alone and friendless
My heart goes out to this child
But someday a good friend she'll find
I to have wished for a friend
When all was dark
I to have written it down
In my mind a time or two
But now as time has passed
The notes I write
Are to the lost
