I’ll Be There [Demo-Version]

Lyrics

[Intro] Here's a song in A, uh, that's being done by Jim and Jean It's their best song now, it's, um It's made for harmonies, it's a— it's a good melody for harmonies It's a strong song, it's, uh, called "I'll Be There", and it's a Song that could've applied to a lot of different situations Could've been an American Revolutionary song Algerians at one time, Hungarians at one time [Verse 1] When the river of rebellion overflows, I'll be there When the seed of discontent plants and grows, I'll be there Watching for the sun through the dark and rainy storm Searching for the keys to the dungeons old and worn Let me tell you, I'll be there [Verse 2] When the shadow of the tyrant falls and sweeps across the land And when men would steal from others with a paper in their hand When people toiled for nothing underneath the burning sun When their troubles would be over if they thought and fought as one Let me tell you, I'll be there [Chorus] East or west or north or south, we're brothers to the core The wind of freedom's blowing out of every distant shore When the time is ready and the call is loud and clear Let me tell you, I'll be there [Verse 4] When the thunder of oppression roars and crackles, I'll be there And when those who would be free are wearing shackles, I'll be there For the day is gonna come when they'll throw away their chains Lift their heads and raise their arms for the struggle that remains And let me tell you, I'll be there [Chorus] East or west or north or south, we're brothers to the core The wind of freedom's blowing out of every distant shore When the time is ready and the call is loud and clear Let me tell you, I'll be there [Outro] When the thunder of oppression roars and crackles, I'll be there And when those who would be free are wearing shackles, I'll be there For the day is gonna come when they'll throw away their chains Lift their heads and raise their arms for the struggle that remains Let me tell you, let me tell you Let me tell you, I'll be there
