Will You Be There Radio Edit / Single Version
[Verse 1]
Hold me
Like the River Jordan
And I will then say to thee
You are my friend
Carry me
Like you are my brother
Love me like a mother
Will you be there?

[Verse 2]
Weary
Tell me, will you hold me?
When wrong, will you scold me?
When lost will you find me?
But they told me
A man should be faithful
And walk when not able
And fight 'til the end
But I'm only human
[Bridge]
Everyone's taking control of me
Seems that the world's got a role for me
I'm so confused, will you show it to me?
That you'll be there for me and care enough to bear me

[Outro: The Andraé Crouch Singers & (Michael Jackson)]

Heal me and bathe me

Softly you say to me
I will be there
(I will be there)
Lift me
Lift me up slowly
Carry me boldly
(Yeah)
Show me you care
Hold me

Lay your head lowly
