"I’ll Be There"
By: Lauren Starr, March 13, 2008

I wrote this for Aaron, so the only other dedication it needs besides this is that I'll do whatever it takes to be true to these words.

*Verse 1*

We’ve known each other for awhile,
So many memories, so many smiles,
Melting into my heart,
And there you’ll always stay.

We’ve each had our ups and downs,
For all the laughs, there will be frowns,
But somehow in the end,
We rise to our feet, and start again.

We’ve never surrendered the fight,
But sometimes it’s not always alright,
When it’s just too much to bear,
We know we’ll always be there.

Chorus

When you fall down,
I’ll help you rise,
If you’ve given up hope,
I’ll help you realize,

That it’s not time to quit,
It’s not time to give in,
In the end you’ll make it through.
When it’s too much to fight through alone,
I’ll be there for you.

*Verse 2*

After fighting through it all,
It’s your turn to take the fall,
And what’s hurting you the most,
Is how you let it break your will.

I won’t let you drown in fear,
Or be broken by a tear,
As long as I am here.

The confusion’s left you blind,
Wreaking havoc in your mind,
You need to find your way once more,
And remember what you’re living for.

*Chorus*

But if you fall down,
I’ll help you rise,
If you’ve given up hope,
I’ll help you realize,

That it’s not time to quit,
It’s not time to give in,
In the end you’ll make it through.
When it’s too much to fight through alone,
I’ll be there for you.

*Bridge Verse*

Lying in your bed,
Just staring at the ceiling,
Wondering what went wrong,
If life has any meaning.

Don’t you know I do the same?
Wishing I could take the pain,
And by the time we fall asleep,
It’s this promise I will keep.

I won’t let you suffer through it alone,
No matter what…I’ll be there.

*Verse 3*

Let’s take it on, hand in hand,
Because life isn’t always what we plan.
We’ll find the way things used to be,
Better times for you and for me.

*Chorus*

‘Cause if you fall down,
I’ll help you rise,
If you’ve given up hope,
I’ll help you realize,

That it’s not time to quit,
It’s not time to give in,
In the end you’ll make it through.
When it’s too much to fight through alone,
I’ll be there for you.

‘Cause if you fall down,
I’ll help you rise,
If you’ve given up hope,
I’ll help you realize,

That it’s not time to quit,
It’s not time to give in,
In the end you’ll make it through.
When it’s too much to fight through alone,
I’ll be there for you.

If it’s too much to fight through alone,
And you can’t make it on your own,
I’ll be there…I’ll be there, for you.
