I'll Be There

(album: Love Among The Cannibals - 1989)

People need their reasons
Reasons to live and reasons to die
Just something to believe in
Whatever it takes to get through the night
When the road just leads to nowhere
And your faith can't follow through
I'll be there for you, I'll be there for you

Black is black and white is white
And the blues are sometimes gray
When you hurt and you don't know why
And your tears won't go away
There's a rainbow out there somewhere
And one thing is always true
I'll be there for you, I'll be there for you

I'll be there for you, when hope seems thin and your chances are few
I'll be there for you, I'll share the pain and be someone to hold
And there's so much more I can do, I'll be there for you

We could talk forever
There's reasons to stay and reasons to go
But while we're here together
I might as well make my intentions known
There's a light that shines in my window
It's a place you can run back to
And I'll be there for you, I'll be there for you

I'll be there for you, when hope seems thin and your chances are few
I'll be there for you, when the outside world turns your inside cold
And no one will tell you the truth, I'll be there for you

And if the day should come in this lifetime (I will be there)
I hope one morning you'll wake up to find
Anyone with half a heart could see, we might cross this great divide

When the road just leads to nowhere
And faith can't follow through
I'll be there for you, I'll be there for you

I'll be there for you, when hope seems thin and your chances are few
I'll be there for you, I'll share the pain and be someone to hold
There's so much more I can do, so much more
Baby I'll be there for you, yes I will, you know that
I will be there for you, yes I will, I will be there (I'll be there for you)
I will be there (I'll be there for you)
(I'll be there for you) Don't you worry baby
(I'll be there for you) I will, I will...
