I'll Be There
Foster Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When your life is hard to bear through
No one there to help and praise you
I'll be by your side my friend
Don't you worry about nothing
I'll be there to comfort you and
I'll be there when no one else can
I'll be there and never let you down
And always get you off the ground
And if you need a helping hand
Your wish will always be my command
Whatever, anything you need
And I will be there, guaranteed
I'll be there
Yes, I'll be there
For you
I'll be there
I'll be there
If you need me
And there's nobody
A guarantee
There will always be me
If you're anywhere
Life is hard to bear
I declare
That I'll be there
I'll be there to comfort you
When no one else can
Get you off the ground
I'll never let you down
And if you need a helping hand
Your wish is my command
Anything you need
Guaranteed
I'll be there




I'll be there
I'll be there
