I'll Always Be There

Roch Voisine I'll Always Be There Lyrics
1.Am I Wrong

For Mary-Jane
Most every night
I played
The same old song
That lingered on for days
For Mary-Ann
Her friends all gone
I stayed
And through the night
I held her tight and prayed

Am I wrong
Cause I didn't have the strength to carry on
Cause I never looked behing me, I was gone
And all that I could do
Was write their song
Am I right
To share a part of them into the light
For telling you and standing here in white
My memories are haunting me tonight

For Mary-Line
For weeks on end
I tried
To fold my world
And keep her pearl inside
For Mary-Lou
I caught the moon
Last night
She never came
But who's to blame
I lied

Am I wrong
Cause I didn't have the strength to carry on
Cause I never looked behind me, I was gone
And all that I could do
Was write their song
Am I right
To share a part of them into the light
For telling you and standing right here
Tonight


2.Blue Bird

I've already written lots of songs
But never did for blue birds
I guess I never had the chance
To see one and to observe
They say they come from far away
Above the land, across the sea
If you could be tiny blue bird
Would you fly to me

Blue bird, blue bird
don't you ever fly away
Cause your time has come to stay
With your blue eyes
I'm in love everyday
Blue bird, blue bird
Blue bird, blue bird

Guess I could travel around the world
And never find someone like you
I know I may get carried away but
What else can I do
I've already met lots of girls
But no one smiles like you
If I could be tiny blue bird
Could I fly to you

Blue bird, blue bird
don't you ever fly away
Cause your time has come to stay
And with your blue eyes
I'm in love everyday
Blue bird, blue bird
Don't you ever fly away
Blue bird, blue bird
Blue bird, blue bird


3.For Adam's Sake

My name is Adam
And I'm three years old
My mommy's been very tired
My daddy's told me so
He said she couldn't tell
Any lies no more
She couldn't live with us
She had to search out for more
I just haven't got a clue
What he means
I only want my own Mom back
Please!

CHORUS:

For Adam's sake
People try to understand
Break up the fight and lay a hand
Save up a world for the little man
For Adam's sake
People it's time to turn around
Pick up that child you left behind
Your crazy war has struck him down

My name is Adam
I'm a brand new soul
I'm way too young for this
I can only count the blows
Right here in the cross fire
Lately it's been up and down
I follow the moods and the tides
I wear their anger like a crown
Give me some time
I'll be fine, I'll be strong
But don't come and tell me
All is fine, nothing's wrong ...

(CHORUS)
Don't let him down
Don't let him down
Don't let him down
Don't let him down


4.Heaven Or Hell

You hang tough
Against love
Your heart beats
But you deny it and then
You tell lies
Through your sies
You take aim
And make me want you again
There's nothing left in my soul
But the sound of your name

Heaven or hell
Which one are you woman
Heaven or hell
Which side of the token
You do it so well
I'm already broken
Between heaven or hell
Guess I've already chosen

You play cool
Keep yourself on the move
You play wise
Wear your heart in disguise
You say you might
But then you run out of sight
Your love games
I swear one day will drive me insane
I got to give it to you
You're all pain but no gain.


5.I'll Always Be There

You and I
Have followed the trace
Laid by the people of faith and pride
With hungry eyes
You and I
Could conquer the stars
If we tried
Or simply live by simpler vows
And let the storm go by...

You and I
Have written the book
Line by line
And the few things that took to survive
Was your loving heart and mine
Should you go
Remember these words
As they show
Just how much I care
Don't you know
I'll always be there

I'll always be there
There when the world and its promise is failing
I'll always be there
There when the frost of its winter is cursing
I'll always be there
There when tears in you eyes
Keep asking me

I'll always be there

You and I
Will follow the trace
Laid bt people of faith and pride
With angry eyes gone blind
You and I
Will show them the light
We live by
So never again will they try
To keep us apart

I'll always be there
There when the world and its promise is failing
I'll always be there
There when the frost of its winter is cursing
I'll always be there
There when tears in you eyes
Keep on asking me why

I'll always be there
There when the world and its promise is failing
I'll always be there
There when tears in you eyes
Keep on asking me why

Asking me why

I'll always be there
There when the frost of its winter is cursing
I'll always be there
There when your loving is such
You keep buring alive

I'll always be there
I'll always be there

I'll always be there
I'll always be there


6.Lost Without You

It was the 4th of July
I just wanted to lay down and die
I lost a friend
Never thought that it might end
What was I to do
So alone without you
Now it's plain to see
It could never be the same
How bad is it broken
Just ask this heart of mine

I'm so lost without you
Feeling lonely, scared and cold
I'm so lost without you
Tell me baby
When you're coming home

Tell me do you miss
The feeling of my kiss
the way I'm missing yours
The way it was before
My heart is on the line
And you've given up on trying
Just remember this:
I'm still loving you
Like an angel that keeps on falling
You are leaving me behind

I'm so lost without you
Feeling lonely, scared and cold
I'm so lost without you
Tell me baby
When you're coming home

I miss your fire buring me baby
I miss you day and night
No one else could ever make me feel this way

Like an angel you keep on falling
You are leaviing me, you're leaving me behind

I'm so lost without you
Feeling lonely, scared and cold
I'm so lost without you
Tell me baby
When you're coming home

I'm so lonely
Lonely, scared and cold
I'm so lost without you
Tell me baby
When you're coming home...
Tell me baby
When you're coming home...
Tell me baby
When you're coming home...
Feeling lonely


7.Oochigeas (Indian Song)

Here's a story I've been told
About a child of 12 yeard old
Breathing life to young trees falling
Before the barbed wire on the plain
Before the white man ever came
She must've saved 10 000 souls
She was the keeper of the young
The ones whose lives have just begun
The ones to die their song unsung.

Oochigeas
Oochigeas

The story tells of how she cried
The day the wind blew high the fire
Left her burned but still undompted
Across the lake lived the magic team
Who set a task for malicete
To find the special girl he wanted
When all the village girls had tried
To win his heart to be his bride
Oochi would not be denied

Oochigeas
Oochigeas

Here's a story I've been told
About a child of 12 years old
Breathing life to young trees falling

Not as simple as it seemed
She had to see the one unseen
She had to cast away the lies
With courage Oochigeas tried
Forgot the pain forgot the cries
And thus she kept the dream alive

Oochigeas
Oochigeas


8.She Picked On Me

CHORUS:

She picked on me
When I was lonely
She picked on me
When I was down
She picked on me
It wasn't easy
To pull me up
And to bring me around
She picked on me
When I was lonely
She kicked me when I was down
she picked on me
Cause is was plain to see
Always in trouble
My life was a circus
And I was a clown

I was making a life
Out of singing the blues
And I was learning to choose
Which way to lose
Sometimes it felt like I was ready to fly
Taking off for the sky
But didn't know how to try
Somebody please turn on the lights
Well that's what you did
By shaking me left and right

(CHORUS)

I was searching the fire
But couldn't hold on to the truth
Wanted to go up in style
Holding on to my cowboy boots
There was no way up
and there was no way
I was coming down
Still I was going for the final count
I was going out first round
somebody please, please
You gotta make me right
You weren't easy to find
But there was you, you, you, you
Down the line

(CHORUS)

Somebody get on my side
Cause it ain't easy to hide
Somebody get over here
Anytime, anywhere
Stay close and never go away

(CHORUS)

She picked on me
When I was lonely
She picked on me
When I was down
She picked on me
It wasn't easy
To pull me up
And to bring me around
She picked on me
When I was lonely
Kicked me when I was down
She picked on me
Cause it was plain to see
Always in trouble
My life was a circus
And I was a clown


9.Shout Out Loud

Well I've seen some places
And seen lots of faces
Facing towards a distant light
Now I hear people laughing
And see people smiling
All over the news tonight
Oh I see new generations
Bringing new vibrations
They're skilled and they do things right
I see you and me
Loving to be free
So come along and make things bright

CHORUS:
Me all I've got
Is just a little singing now
If you wanna be part of it
Just hold your hands and
Shout out loud
Shout out loud

So we followed the traces
And we filled up the places
Looking for a better sight
Now we see strong bonding action
'Tween people of the nations
No matter if they're black, red or white
and we see people trying
Giving all their loving
Giving everything they've got
And there's you and me
Loving desperately
Open up your heart
and let's see some light

(CHORUS)

You say no way
Well just look around
Can't you see that love
Can bring us around

Me all I've got
Is just a little singing now
If you wanna be part of it
Just hold your hands and
Shout out loud
Shout out loud

Shout out loud
Shout out loud
No more tears
No more tears
Shout out loud
No more cries
Shout out loud
No more lies
No more lies
Shout out loud


10.Stay

Ticking, clocking
Way past midnight
I can't go to sleep
Rolling, yawnin'
No one in sight
To hold me dear and deep
Since I left my homeland in white,
Where I'd rather be,
Stolen daydreams
And sleepless nights
Are all they left for me

CHORUS:

Help me decide
As I lie awake
Should I pack my bags today
Help me survive
Make it go away
Make me turn around
And stay

Walking voodoo
Thinking of you
Friends I left behind
Smiling faces
My memory traces
Keeps me on the line

(CHORUS)

Burning bright and yet
Sinking low
Like a flickering light
On a winter's night
Must I keep on traveling alone
When I feel my heart
Turning into stone

(CHORUS)


11.There's No Easy Way

There's no easy way
To fix a broken heart
When you don't know how
Or where to start
Sometimes I miss you girl
I guess I always will
Cause when I think of you
My heart stands still

And there's no easy way
There's no easy way
There's no easy way
To say goodbye

Are you happy now
Is he good to you
Did your dreams come true
I hope you understand
I couldn't tell you then
But if it's not too late
Can we still be friends

'Cause ...

You know I tried a hundred times
To walk away from you
You know I shed a million tears
What else could I do

I never could explain
How I felt inside
And 'cause I didn't try
I never realized

That there's no easy way
There's no easy way
There's no easy way
To say goodbye


12.Wind And Tears

I'm sitting here trying hard
To figure out
How, where, when they first met
Was it under the moon
Or near a campfire
Not getting close to soon

CHORUS:

Grandpa asked Grandma
For the last dance
Living a newborn romance
They've been together
For over 50 years
Against wind and against tears
Against wind ...

Through all the years
That they've been together
Through shine and rain
They stood tall
Giving all they could
To raise the family
The way I surely would

(CHORUS)

The years have gone by
And I stand here, so grateful
For all the love that I've seen
The gift of music
And there so many
I thank you both eternally
