| I was there in world war one, I remember Vietnam
|
| I was standing by your side in the hills of Afghanistan
|
| You were young and you were scared but you still stood tall
|
| I’m watching as your heart breaks when the men around you fall
|
| I’ll be there, every step of the way
|
| The voice inside that gives you hope to face another day
|
| I’ll be there, every step of the way
|
| The strength to give you courage to fight another day
|
| I was right behind you when they led you to the dock
|
| And I was lying down with you when they turned the lock
|
| I’m the words on the pages and the letters you sent home
|
| The loneliness is a killer but you’re never on your own
|
| I’ll be there, every step of the way
|
| The voice inside that gives you hope to face another day
|
| I’ll be there, every step of the way
|
| The strength to give you courage to fight another day
|
| There’s a dream but don’t let them own you
|
| Care to wonder but ask why
|
| Take your moment to think it over
|
| Make your choice, hold your head up high
|
| I was looking over you when the doctors called you in
|
| Bigger men had crumbled but you took it on the chin
|
| I saw how you struggled with the news you had to give
|
| There’s no shame in losing faith when all you wanna do is live
|
| I’ll be there, every step of the way
|
| The voice inside that gives you hope to face another day
|
| I’ll be there, every step of the way
|
| The strength to give you courage to fight another day (x2) |
