I was there that night in Bethlehem And when Neil and the boys came to the moon in that tin can At Gettysburg, Omaha beach, in Vietnam I heard every soldiers cry and every mommas prayer I was there I was there when you took your first breath When you lit that stolen Lucky Strike and like to choke to death When you were waist deep in Carter’s Creek And preacher John dunked you down in the water and raised you up for air I was there I’m always around I was then and I am now And I’ll be here when tomorrow comes When a road comes to an end I’m where you start again I’m never farther than a word away You’ve always got a friend When your grandma passed, I was in that house When you Grandpa ran down the streets of gold to show her around I was there I’m always around I was then and I am now And I’ll be here when tomorrow comes When a road comes to an end I’m where you start again I’m never farther than a word away You’ve always got a friend I was there last night on highway 9 When you answered the phone and ran right through that stop sign I was in the cab of that big rig, in that trucker’s ear They made him swerve to the right and miss you by a hair I was there If you’re feeling alone look up on the One who answers prayers And I’m always there
