Will You Be There

When the time comes and I need someone to hold me

When the time comes and I need someone to care

If I'm ever down and out and need somebody

If I ever call on you will you be there

Self-relyin' is the work I use for me

Independence is the thing I've got to be

Self-substantivein' doesn't mean that I don't care

If I ever call on you will you be there

Ah if my dreams and schemes should ever tell me

And my life is empty when I've lost it all

If I'm ever down and out and need somebody oh yeah

If I ever call on you will you be there

If I ever call on you will you be there...
