In a room without a view, a new mother smiles |
|
And holds the tiny fingers of her brand new baby girl |
|
Her husband takes her by the hand, so unsure about the future |
|
And no money can they make it in this world? |
|
And they pray, "Lord all we have to give is love" |
|
And they heard a gentle voice like an echo from above"I have been there, I know what fear is all aboutYes, I have been there and I'm standing with you nowI have been there and I came to build the bridgeOh, so this road could lead you home, oh, I have been there" |
|
He's been a pastor twenty years but tonight he sits alone |
|
And broken hearted in the corner of the church |
|
He tried to change a fallen world with his words and with his wisdom |
|
But it seems like it is only getting worse |
|
And he cries, "Oh Lord, I just don't understand" |
|
Then he felt the hand of grace and he heard a voice that said"I have been there I know what pain is all aboutYes, I have been there and I'm standing with you nowI have been there and I came to build a bridgeOh, so this road could lead you home, oh, I have been there" |
|
An older man up on a hill holding flowers |
|
But he can't hold back the tears |
|
Oh he has come to say goodbye |
|
He thinks about the life she lived |
|
Thinks about how hard it's been to live without her |
|
Sixty years right by his side |
|
And he cries, "Oh Lord, I loved her till the end" |
|
And he heard a gentle voice say, "You'll see her once again""I have been there I know what sorrow's all aboutYes, I have been there and I'm standing with you nowI have been there and I came to build a bridgeOh, so this road could lead her home, the road could lead her home" |
|
Oh, I have been there you know |
|
I overcame the cross |
|
Yes, I have been there so her life would not be lost |
|
Oh, I have been there and |
|
I came to build a bridge |
|
So this road could lead you home, the road could lead you home"" |
|
Oh, I have been there |
|
Yes, I have been there" |
