You'll Be There

Hope is an anchor, and love is a ship

Time is the ocean and life is a trip

You don't know where you're going

Til you know where you're at

And if you can't read the stars

Well you better have a map

A compass and a conscience

so you don't get lost at sea

Around some lonely island, no one wants to be

From the beginning of creation, I think our maker had plan

For us to leave these shores and sail beyond the sand

And let the good light guide to the waves and the wind

To the beaches and a world where have never been

And we'll climb upon a mountain, y'all we'll let our voices ring

Those who've never tried they'll be the first to sing

CHORUS:

Woah My My

I'll see you on the other side

If I make it

And it might be a long hard ride

But I'm gonna take it

Sometimes it seems I don't have a prayer

Let the weather take me anywhere

But I know I wanna go

Where the streets are gold

Cause you'll be there

Oh my my

You don't bring nothing with you here

And you can't take nothing back

I ain't never seen a hearse, with a luggage rack

So I've torn my knees from praying

Scarred my back from falling down

Spent so much time flying high, til I'm face first in the ground

So if you're up there watching me, can you talk to God and say,

Tell him I might need a hand to see a boat someday

Repeat Chorus

Cause you'll be there

Oh my my
