You Were There
By Paul McCann


When the walls came crashing down
and there was no one around ,
that’s when I found , you were there .

When my life was on the line ,
when I was losing my mind ,
time after time , you were there .

You were there and pulled me through
all the hard times that I knew ,
how can I ever thank you .

When I had nowhere to go
and no one wanted to know ,
you said hello , you were there .

You were there ,
when I was cold and hungry
and when I had no money ,
you came to me .
You were there .

You were there right by my side ,
when all my hopes had died ,
because of you I survived .

When ever they criticize,
I pray and I close my eyes ,
then I realise , you were there ,

When it all comes to an end
then I will whisper Amen ,
thank you my friend ,
you were there .

You were there and now I see
the way everything should be ,
you were always there for me .
