I'll Be There
AJ Melendez Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We must bring salvation back
Where there is love
I'll be there (I'll be there)
I'll reach out my hand to you
I'll have faith in all you do
Just call my name
I'll be there to comfort you
Build my world of dreams around you
I'm so glad that I found you
I'll be there with a love so strong
I'll be your strength
You know I'll keep holding on
Let me fill your heart with joy and laughter
Togetherness is all I'm after
Just call my name
And I'll be there (I'll be there)
I'll be there to protect you
With an unselfish love that respects you
Just call my name
And I'll be there (I'll be there)
I'll be there to comfort you
Build my world of dreams around you
I'm so glad that I found you
I'll be there with a love so strong
I'll be your strength
You know I'll keep holding on
If you should ever find someone new
I know she'd better be good to you
'Cause if she doesn't
Then I'll be there (I'll be there)
Don't you know baby
I'll be there
I'll be there
Just call my name
And I'll be there
Just call my name
And I'll be there
The lyrics to AJ Melendez's song "I'll be there" speak to a promise of everlasting love and support, no matter what life may bring. The first verse sets the tone, with the statement that "you and I must make a pact" and "we must bring salvation back," indicating that the relationship is viewed as a partnership that has the potential to save both individuals from loneliness and despair. The line "where there is love, I'll be there" carries the sentiment that love is not just a feeling, but an action that requires commitment and effort.
The chorus repeats the phrase "I'll be there" four times, emphasizing the reliability and consistency of the singer's love. The second verse goes on to explain what this love will look like in practice, with the promise to "comfort you" and "build my world of dreams around you." The use of the first-person pronoun "I" highlights the singer's own agency in creating this love-filled reality. The third verse builds on this, promising to "protect you" and to be "your strength" in times of need.
The final verse adds a twist to the narrative, with the singer acknowledging the possibility of the relationship ending or evolving with the introduction of a new partner. However, the singer does not try to hold onto the other person out of possessiveness or jealousy. Instead, the idea that the new partner "better be good to you" indicates a selfless desire for the other person's happiness, even if that happiness is found with someone else.
