George Straight - 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:
so 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
