I Will Be There lyrics

When you're hurt, scared,

feel you can't go on,

with this world closing in,

all your hope is gone...

...don't you worry,

don't care at all.

Just you call.

Yeah, I want you to know, 

want you to know that...

...I will be there, baby, baby, baby,

I will be there.

When you're stranded in the world 

wishin' you could escape it

and you pray to your God, 

tell him that you just can't take it,

can't take any more, then open your door.

I will be there.

When your friends let you down,

it cuts like a knife

and that old devil wind, yeah,

it blows into your life.

And those times

when you feel you are in hell,

think of me.

If you're alone, pick up the phone.

Yeah, I want you to know, 

want you to know that...

...I will be there, baby, baby, baby,

I will be there.

When the world is in darkness 

and you're scared of the night,

yeah, I will stay with you 

till the sun brings the light.

When the rivers are risin'

and the tide, it takes you down,

and you feel you're losin' hold 

and think no one is around,

hey, hey, don't you worry, 

I won't let you drown.

I will be there.

If you're lonely today,

tomorrow, tonight,

if you look around

but there's no hope in sight...

In the times

when you feel you are in hell,

don't you worry,

don't care at all.

Ah, just you call,

don't care at all.

Yeah, I want you to know, 

want you to know that...

...I will be there, baby, baby, baby,

I will be there.

When the land is in darkness

and you're scared of the night,

yeah, I will stay with you 

till the sun brings the light.

When you're stranded in the world 

wishin' you could escape it

and you pray to your God, 

tell him that you just can't take it no more

(no more) no more (no more) no more

(no more) no more (no more) no more.

The rivers are risin'

and the tide, it takes you down

and you feel you're losin' hold 

and think no one is around,

hey, hey, don't you worry, I won't let you drown.

I will be there,

I will be there.

When you're scared of the night,

there ain't a friend in sight,

and when it turns to light,

I will be there.

There ain't a friend at all,

your back is to the wall,

oh, darling, just you call. 

I will be there.

You can't take any more,

when your dreams hit the floor,

when you open the door,

I will be there.

When you're scared of the night,

there ain't a friend in sight,

and when it turns to light,

I will be there.

There ain't a friend at all,

your back is to the wall,

oh, darling, just you call. 

I will be there.  

You can't take any more,

when your dreams hit the floor,

when you open the door,

I will be there.
