My cast of characters, you're with me every place I go
Like the cover of "Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band"
You're the stars in my personal show
And I want to thank you so!

My cast of characters, so colorful in every way
Like "a lizard on a windowpane", you make me see things in a different way
And I just want to say

You're my prescription lenses
You're my secret weapon
You're my "Stairway to heaven."

Friends, you're on my mind
And there's so many words to say for what I feel inside
But I can't find any that sound new
So I hope you don't mind if I borrow a few

My cast of characters,
You hold the net out for me, when I fall
Even when I come up with egg all over my face
You still embrace me, egg and all
And I want to thank you all

You're my rescue mission, you're my drug of choice
You give me back my vision, help me find my voice
You turn my solo song into a symphony
You keep me going strong, please don't give up on me

Friends, you're on my mind
And there's so many words to say for what I feel inside
But I can't find any that sound new
So I hope you don't mind if I borrow a few

Friends, you're on my mind
And there's so many words to say for what I feel inside
But I can't find any that sound new
So I hope you don't mind if I borrow a few

And I "get by with a little help from you,"
And I "get high with a little help from you"
And I only hope that you
Will count me in your cast of characters too.
