I'll be there
Jackson 5 feat. Michael Jackson Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You and I must make a pact
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 and I'll be there (I'll be there)
And oh, 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 that's strong
I'll be your strength
I'll keep holdin' on (holdin' on)
Yes I will, yes I will

Let me fill your heart with joy and laughter
Togetherness, girl, is all I'm after
Whenever you need me, I'll be there (I'll be there)
I'll be there to protect you (yeah baby)
With unselfish love that respects you
Just call my name and I'll be there (I'll be there)

And oh, 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 that's strong
I'll be your strength
I'll keep holdin' on
Ooh ooh ooh
Yes I will (holdin' on, holdin' on)
Yes I will

If you should ever find someone new
I know he better be good to you
'Cause if he doesn't
I'll be there (I'll be there)

Don't you know, baby, yeah, yeah
I'll be there, I'll be there
Just call my name, I'll be there (I'll be there)
Just look over your shoulders honey, ooh
I'll be there, I'll be there
Whenever you need me, 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, I'll be there (I'll be there)
Oh, oh, oh, oh, I'll be there

Overall Meaning

"I'll Be There" is a classic love song that emphasizes the importance of being there for someone through thick and thin. The first two lines of the song set the mood for the rest of it: "You and I must make a pact, we must bring salvation back." This line implies that the two individuals are making a commitment to each other to save each other from any kind of trouble. Additionally, the line emphasizes the importance of salvation, which can be viewed as emotional or spiritual.


The song then goes on to explain that as long as there is love, the singer will always be there. The repetition of "I'll be there" emphasizes the importance of this promise. The singer promises to reach out their hand and have faith in their partner while also comforting them and building a world of dreams around them. The line "Let me fill your heart with joy and laughter" emphasizes the role of a partner in filling the other person's life with positivity.


Furthermore, the song emphasizes the importance of a strong love that is unselfish and respectful. If the partner were to ever leave or find someone else, the singer promises to still be there and hopes that the other person will find someone who is good to them. The repetition of "I'll be there" throughout the song emphasizes that love is about being there for someone through all of life's ups and downs.

@@WrldDon Souls, remember this verse:
2 Timothy 3:16
All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:


Which clears out the question(complains) that bible is man written, IT IS NOT.
Our sinful nature allows not to write any which were written into the bible.
Nor can any man see future, unless GOD has given him visions.
Joel 2:28
And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions:
Acts 2:17
And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams:

Galatians 3:22
But the scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe.
Galatians 3:8
And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the heathen through faith, preached before the gospel unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be blessed.

Those are the days when this kind of entertainment was spectacular to me. When he was a little kid, Mikey, I was a kid, too. He was only just a few younger years to me. I survived the years that my va doctors put me on medication for various things including the strong things to relax like Michael. He was quite Advanced and when he came out with the song Man in the Mirror I didn't/couldn't get my head around that too fast back then.
I'm gonna make a change
For once in my life
It's gonna feel real good
Gonna make a difference
Gonna make it right
As I, turn up the collar on
My favorite winter coat
This wind is blowin' my mind
I see the kids in the street
With not enough to eat
Who am I, to be blind pretending not to see their needs?
A summer's disregard
A broken bottle top
And a one man's soul
They follow each other on the wind ya know
'Cause they got nowhere to go
That's why I want you to know
I'm starting with the man in the mirror
I'm asking him to change his ways
And no message could've been any clearer
If they wanna make the world a better place
Take a look at yourself and then make a change
I've been a victim of a selfish kind of love
It's time that I realize
That there are some with no home
Not a nickel to loan
Could it be really me pretending that they're not alone?😯

People cry he was not a great musician as he didn't played instruments, like bruhhh he literally played all the elements of instruments with his vocals he didn't need no instruments to get his music out. He would simply compose them in his mind and use his iconic voice to tell the instrumentalist to play accordingly. He was the music embodied in a human form, which is higher than any great or Legendary musician. Greatest of all time Michael Jackson 👑🔥💯🔊 influence doesn't lie.

@NewCreationTV

💯

@thaissagarcia2797

There's a video of him playing the piano, simple but playing

@citypopradioFM

That's a wild statement since the biggest pros and producers in the industry have universally spoken about how Michael was like Brian Wilson on the boards in the studio. He had a special ear, he was a perfectionist, and he knew music deeper than all of them.

@user-gq8qu9cp8c

Don't forget people his range also!!!

@menswearchronicles

No need no instruments ❤️ not all great singers meant to be musicians not all great musicians meant to be great singers, maybe some composers are good at making music but can't sing em.
