Will You Be There?

same melody for every verse except the 5th.


 4   4
Hold me

-4    4  -4 4   5  5
Like the river Jordan

-5  5 -5    5    6  6   6
And I will then say to thee

-6   6  -5  5 -4
You are my friend

Carry me
Like you are my brother
Love me like a mother
Will you be there?

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

-6 6 -5     6 -5   5   5  5  5
Everyone's taking control of me

 -6    6   -5    6  
Seems that the worlds

-5  5  5    5  5
Got a role for me

-6  6  -5   6 
I'm so confused

 -5   5   5   5  5
Will you show to me

 -5    5   -4   -4  -4
You'll be there for me

-4   6    6  6  6  -6   6
And care enough to bear me

(lead me)
(lay your head lowly)
(softly then boldly)
(carry me there)

(hold me)
(love me and feed me)
(kiss me and free me)
(I will feel blessed)

(carry)
(carry me boldly)
(lift me up slowly)
(carry me there)

(save me)
(heal me and bathe me)
(softly you say to me)
(I will be there)

(lift me)
(lift me up slowly)
(carry me boldly)
(show me you care)

(hold me)
(lay your head lowly)
(softly then boldly)
(carry me there)

(need me)
(love me and feed me)
(kiss me and free me)
(I will feel blessed)

(spoken)
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'll never let you part
For you're always in my heart.
