[00:08.10]I was there that night in Bethlehem
[00:14.72]And when Neil and the boys came to the moon in that tin can
[00:22.32]At Gettysburg, Omaha beach, in Vietnam
[00:28.98]I heard every soldiers cry and every mommas prayer
[00:35.99]I was there
[00:40.45]I was there when you took your first breath
[00:47.64]When you lit that stolen Lucky Strike and like to choke to death
[00:54.43]When you were waist deep in Carter’s Creek
[00:58.53]And preacher John dunked you down in the water and raised you up for air
[01:08.50]I was there
[01:13.90]I’m always around
[01:16.57]I was then and I am now
[01:20.10]And I’ll be here when tomorrow comes
[01:27.10]When a road comes to an end
[01:30.53]I’m where you start again
[01:34.23]I’m never farther than a word away
[01:39.92]You’ve always got a friend
[01:44.95]When your grandma passed, I was in that house
[01:51.77]When you Grandpa ran down the streets of gold to show her around
[01:59.22]I was there
[02:18.21]I’m always around
[02:21.40]I was then and I am now
[02:25.50]And I’ll be here when tomorrow comes
[02:31.97]When a road comes to an end
[02:35.48]I’m where you start again
[02:39.19]I’m never farther than a word away
[02:44.76]You’ve always got a friend
[02:50.50]I was there last night on highway 9
[02:56.95]When you answered the phone and ran right through that stop sign
[03:04.44]I was in the cab of that big rig, in that trucker’s ear
[03:11.47]They made him swerve to the right and miss you by a hair
[03:18.28]I was there
[03:22.44]If you’re feeling alone look up on the One who answers prayers
[03:31.60]And I’m always there
