George Strait - "I'll Be There" lyrics

Well,Hope is an anchor, and love is a ship

time is the ocean and life is a trip

You don't know where you're goin' 'til you know where you're at

and if you can't read the stars, well you better have a map

a compass and a conscience soul so you don't get lost at sea

Or on some old lonley island where no one wants to be

From the begining of creation I think our maker had a plan,

for us to leave these shores and sail beyond the sand

and let the good light guide us through the waves and the wind,

to the beaches in the world where we have never been

and we'll climb up on the mountain y'all and we'll let our voices ring

those who've never tried it, they'll be the first to sing

oh my my

First Chorus:

i'll see you on the other side, if I make it

it might be a long hard ride

but im gonna take it

sometimes it seems that i dont have a prayer

let the weather take me anywhere

but i know that i wanna go where the streets are gold

cause you'll be there

oh my my

Well you don't take nothing with you here

and you can't take nothing back

I ain't ever seen a hearse with a luggage rack

so i've torn my knees up praying, scarred my back from falling down

I've spent so much time flying high til i'm face first in the ground

so if you're up there watching me, would you talk to God and say

Tell him I might need a hand to see you both someday

oh my my

Second Chorus:

So i'll see you on the other side, if i make it

and it might be a long, hard ride, but i wanna take it

sometimes it seems that i don't have a prayer

let the weather take me anywhere

but i know that i wanna go where the streets are gold

'cause you'll be there

oh my my

cause you'll be there

oh my my
