I was there that night in Bethlehem
|
And when Neil and the boys came to the moon in that tin can
|
At Gettysburg, Omaha Beach, in Vietnam
|
I heard every soldier's cry and every mama's prayer
|
I was there
|
|
I was there when you took your first breath
|
And when you lit that stolen Lucky Strike
|
And liked to choke to death
|
When you were waist deep in Carter's Creek and preacher John
|
Dunked you down in the water and raised you up for air
|
I was there
|
|
I'm always around
|
I was then and I am now
|
And I'll be here when tomorrow comes
|
When a road comes to an end
|
I'm where you start again
|
I'm never farther than a word away
|
You've always got a friend
|
|
When your grandma passed, I was in that house
|
And when your grandpa ran down the streets of gold to show her around
|
I was there
|
|
I'm always around
|
I was then and I am now
|
And I'll be here when tomorrow comes
|
When a road comes to an end
|
I'm where you start again
|
I'm never farther than a word away
|
You've always got a friend
|
|
I was there last night on Highway 9
|
When you answered the phone and ran right through that stop sign
|
I was in the cab of that big rig, in that trucker's ear
|
Made him swerve to the right and miss you by a hair
|
I was there
|
|
If you're feeling alone look up I'm the One who answers prayers
|
And I'm always there
|
