Over time in a humble place
Circumstances make things clear
Another sign of all the wars and rage
All the burdens we all feel, yeah

When I'm burning down inside
Will you be there to open up my eyes again?
All my choices wrong or right
Will you be there? Will you be there?

When I'm a witness to things I can't control
Will you find a way that's clear
From the darkness of all the yesterdays
They carry on and find me here, yeah

When I'm tired of holding on, will you be there?
When all my reasons' gone away
When the feelings turn to stone
Will you be there? Will you be there?

I need to know the answer, do tell
I'll turn and dream of what you mean
And fall around your hands
When I've got to get home
Will you be there? You'll be there

Oh, when I'm burning down inside, will you be there?
To open up my eyes again
All my choices wrong or right
Will you be there? Will you be there?

Oh, when I'm tired of holding on, will you be there?
And all my reasons' gone
Oh when my feelings turn to stone
Will you be there? Will you be there?
