Will You Be There (Radio Edit / Single Version)
[Verse 1]
Hold me
Like the River Jordan
And I will then say to thee
You are my friend
Carry me
Like you are my brother
Love me like a mother
Will you be there?
[Verse 2]
Weary
Tell me, will you hold me?
When wrong, will you scold me?
When lost will you find me?
But they told me
A man should be faithful
And walk when not able
And fight 'til the end
But I'm only human
[Bridge]
Everyone's taking control of me
Seems that the world's got a role for me
I'm so confused, will you show it to me?
That you'll be there for me and care enough to bear me
[Outro: The Andraé Crouch Singers & (Michael Jackson)]
Hold me
(Show me)
Lay your head lowly
(Told me)
Softly then boldly
(Yeah)
Carry me there
(I'm only human)
Lead me
(Hold me)
Love me and feed me
(Yeah, yeah)
Kiss me and free me
(Yeah)
I will feel blessed
(I'm only human)
Carry
(Carry)
Carry me boldly
(Carry me)
Lift me up slowly
(Yeah)
Carry me there
(I'm only human)
Save me
(Lift me)
Heal me and bathe me
(Lift me up, lift me up)
Softly you say to me
I will be there
(I will be there)
Lift me
Lift me up slowly
Carry me boldly
(Yeah)
Show me you care
Hold me
(Woo)
Lay your head lowly
(It gets lonely sometimes)
Softly then boldly
(I get lonely, yeah, yeah)
Carry me there
(Carry me there)
Need me
(Woo)
Love me and feed me
(Lift me up, hold me up)
Kiss me and free me
(Lift me up sometimes, up sometimes)
I will feel blessed
(Yeah)
