[Intro] You know I will be there Thick or thin, rain or shine You know I will be there [Verse 1] Take my hand Its gonna be alright now child Just take my hand And know that its alright to cry Takes a big man To s** it up and just accept A helping hand You know that we all ride the ruts from time to time We all got mountains to climb So check the signs Look around Jah they're everywhere Open your mind I know sometimes it seems unfair But take your cards And play your hand the best you can I know its hard When things don't go just as you planned But when the times get tough [Chorus] You know I will be there Thick or thin, rain or shine You know I will be there When the road is rough and rocky You know I will be there When you're lost and afraid and you can't find your way You know I will be there [Verse 2] Oh brother Lay you're weary body down My sister Wipe away that angry frown My friend You've been running on an empty tank so long You start to get the feeling you belong In this hell you've been living in So many, many years But don't give in Cause over yonder Life is waiting So just stop Your self deflating Ego trips And start forgiving yourself And get busy living And when the times get tough [Chorus] You know I will be there Thick or thin, rain or shine You know I will be there When the road is rough and rocky You know I will be there When you're lost and afraid and you can't find your way You know I will be there [Outro] Take my hand Thick or thin Rain or shine
