Are you looking for sappy, upbeat, rocking...?
Without knowing what genre you want, it's hard to come up with suggestions that I'm sure are useful.
Here's Rancid:
And of course there's The Beatles:
Moving more into the 'sappy' side of it, there's the Bill Withers perennial:
YouTube - Bill Withers - Lean On Me
YouTube - Bill Withers - Lean On Me
And Ben E. King has something to say too:
And more Beatles:
And going a bit goofy, there's a bit of Disney (assuming you're okay with Randy Newman):
YouTube - You've Got A Friend In Me
YouTube - You've Got A Friend In Me
A couple of these probably border on love songs (notably In My Life and Stand By Me), but I'd argue it's a matter of interpretation.
Give me an idea of what sort of direction you want to go in and I'll see if I can't come up with more.
