I Will Be There

I will be there
Thick and thin
Let's stop the end
And just begin
To build
To see
What life can bring
The ups
The downs
What grows within

I will be there
In need and doubt
Let's make a pact
And figure out
The good
The bad
What's in between
The happy
The sad
What's yet to be seen

I will be there
