Lyrics
[Verse 1]
When times are hard
And friends are few
You need someone
To help you through
Just call my name
And I will come runnin'
To your side
Don't be afraid, don't be afraid
[Verse 2]
I will be there
I will be there
I will be there
I will be there
[Verse 3]
When morning comes
And nothin's changed
And the world outside
Plays the same old game
Just call on me
And I will ease
Your lonely heart
Don't be afraid, don't be afraid
[Verse 4]
I will be there
(When you are lost, lost in the night) Will be there
(Nowhere to turn) I will be there
(Don't be afraid, don't be afraid) I will be there
(Don't be afraid) I will be there
(When everyone) Will be there
(Still lets you down) I will be there
(Don't be afraid, don't be afraid) I will be there
(Don't be afraid)
[Verse 5]
Just call my name
And I will come runnin'
To your side
Don't be afraid, don't be afraid
[Verse 6]
I will be there
(When you are lost, lost in the night) Will be there
(Nowhere to turn) I will be there
(Don't be afraid, don't be afraid) I will be there
(Don't be afraid) I will be there
(When everyone) Will be there
(Still lets you down) I will be there
(Don't be afraid, don't be afraid) I will be there
(Don't be afraid)
[Verse 7]
(When you are lost, lost in the night)
(Nowhere to turn)
(Don't be afraid, don't be afraid)
(Don't be afraid)
