Name: Be a neighbor
Duration: P00H02M44S
Description: Steve Johnston( sjbatavia) and I were paired to do a collaboration in February. He told me he played Bluegrass music in a band. I suggested a song about being a good neighbour and he came up with these really good lyrics and a great mandolin solo to go with the song. I did vocals and guitars.

lyrics

Chorus
Be a neighbor, be a friend
When it’s needed lend a hand
Be a pal, be a sport
Someone you know might need support

Verse 1
Reach out and help when you can
Take a moment to understand
You never know when time will come
You might need help from someone

Chorus
Be a neighbor, be a friend
When it’s needed lend a hand
Be a pal, be a sport
Someone you know might need support

Bridge
Might come a time when you’re down and out
When you’re down and out, doing the best you can

Chorus
Be a neighbor, be a friend
When it’s needed lend a hand
Be a pal, be a sport
Someone you know might need support

Verse 2
We need to be there for one another
Might be your sister or your brother
Remain humble and be kind
Relax and ease your troubled mind

Chorus
Be a neighbor, be a friend
When it’s needed lend a hand
Be a pal, be a sport
Someone you know might need support
