I was around when your spirits were down
And I went away when you needed your space
But how can I make you understand
That I'll be around when you need a man?
You said that I was the right kind of guy
You trusted the way that I do what I say
So how could I ever make you think
That I'd let you down when you needed me?
Look at the cliffs and the shore down below
You'll find that they're made of the same thing
One's hard and one flows
We'll be all right playing just this one hand
So I'll be the rock if you be the sand
And that's how I'll make you understand
That I'll be around when you need a man
