[Verse 1: Michael Jackson]
~#**************#~
Hold me like the River Jordan
~#**************#~
And I will then say to thee, “You are my friend”
~#**************#~
Carry me like you are my brother
~#**************#~
Love me like a mother
~#**************#~
Will you be there?
~#**************#~
[Instrumental Interlude]
~#**************#~
[Verse 2: Michael Jackson]
~#**************#~
Weary, tell me will you hold me?
~#**************#~
When wrong, will you scold me?
~#**************#~
When lost will you find me?
~#**************#~
But they told me a man should be faithful
~#**************#~
And walk when not able
~#**************#~
And fight til the end, but Im only human
~#**************#~
[Instrumental Interlude]
~#**************#~
[Bridge: Michael Jackson & Cleveland Orchestra]
~#**************#~
Everyones taking control of me
~#**************#~
Seems that the worlds got a role for me
~#**************#~
Im so confused, will you show it to me?
~#**************#~
Youll be there for me and care enough to bear me
~#**************#~

[Spoken Word: Michael Jackson]
~#**************#~
In our darkest hour, in my deepest despair
~#**************#~
Will you still care? Will you be there?
~#**************#~
In my trials and my tribulations
~#**************#~
Through our doubts and frustrations
~#**************#~
In my violence, in my turbulence
~#**************#~
Through my fear and my confessions
~#**************#~
In my anguish and my pain
~#**************#~
Through my joy and my sorrow
~#**************#~
In the promise of another tomorrow
~#**************#~
Ill never let you part
~#**************#~
For youre always in my heart
