Will You Be There?
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Hold me
Like the River Jordan
And I will then say to thee
You are my friend
Carry me
Like you are my brother
Love me like a mother
Will you be there?
When weary
Tell me will you hold me
When wrong, will you scold me?
When lost will you find me?
But they told me
A man should be faithful
And walk when not able
And fight till the end
But I'm only human
Everyone's taking control of me
Seems that the world's got a role for me
I'm so confused, will you show to me?
You'll be there for me?
And care enough to bear me?
(Hold me)
Show me
(Lay your head lowly)
Lowly
(Softly then boldly)
Yeah
(Carry me there)
I'm only a human
(Lead me)
Hold me
(Love me and feed me)
Yeah, yeah
(Kiss me and free me)
Yeah
(I will feel blessed)
I'm only a human
(Carry)
Carry
(Carry me boldly)
Carry
(Lift me up slowly)
Yeah
(Carry me there)
I'm only a human
(Save me)
Lead me
(Heal me and bathe me)
Lift me up, lift me up
(Softly you'll say to me)
(I will be there)
I'll be there
(Lift me)
Hold me, yeah
(Lift me up slowly)
(Carry me boldly)
Yeah
(Show me you care)
I'll be there
(Hold me)
(Lay your head lowly)
I get lonely sometimes
(Softly then boldly)
I get lonely, yeah, yeah
(Carry me there)
Carry me there
(Need me)
(Love me and feed me)
Lift me up, hold me up
(Kiss me and free me)
Lift me up sometime, up sometime
(I will feel blessed)
Yeah
In our darkest hour
In my deepest despair
Will you still care?
Will you be there?
In my trials
And my tribulations
Through our doubts
And frustrations
In my violence
In my turbulence
Through my fear
And my confessions
In my anguish and my pain
Through my joy and my sorrow
In the promise of another tomorrow
I'l never let you part
For you're always in my heart
