I WAS THERE

WHEN YOU NEEDED A FRIEND
I WAS THERE
WHEN YOU NEEDED A HAND
I WAS THERE

WHEN YOU WERE DOWN
AND FEELING BLUE
I WAS THERE
WHEN YOU WERE LONELY
AND NEEDED SOMEONE TO TALK TO
I WAS THERE

NOW THAT I NEED YOU
YOU ARE NOWHERE INSIGHT
NOWHERE TO BE FOUND
TO HELP ME THRU' THE NIGHT

I THOUGHT YOU WERE MY FRIEND
AND WOULD ALWAYS BE HERE FOR ME
I DIDN'T KNOW THAT WAS THE END
I MUST BE TO BLIND TO SEE

TRUE FRIENDS NEVER BAIL
WHEN THINGS GET ROUGH
THEY ALWAYS STICK AROUND
UNTIL YOU GET STRONG ENOUGH

ALWAYS KEEP IN YOUR MIND
NO MATTER WHAT PEOPLE MAY SAY
I'M NOT THAT KIND
IF YOU NEED ME TOMORROW
OR EVEN TODAY

I'LL BE THERE FOR YOU
IF YOU NEED ME TO BE
WHEN YOUR FEELING BLUE
TO LIGHT YOUR WAY SO YOU CAN SEE

WHEN YOU NEED A SHOULDER TO CRY ON
I'LL BE THERE
WHEN YOU NEED AN ENCOURAGING WORD
TO HELP YOU BE STRONG
I'LL BE THERE

NO MATTER WHAT YOU THINK
OR HOW I ACT
I WAS THERE
AND HAD YOUR BACK

NO MATTER HOW YOU DONE ME ALL ALONG
I'LL BE THERE
EVEN IF ITS TO MAKE YOU STRONG
ALL THOSE THINGS YOU DID
THEY WERE ALL WRONG BUT
NO WORRIES I'LL BE THERE...
