WILL YOU BE THERE

Written and Composed by Michael Jackson.

(From “DANGEROUS” Album)

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)

(Lay your head lowly)

(Softly then boldly)

(Carry me there)

(Lead 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)

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.
