I’ll Be There [Demo-Version]

[Intro]
Here's a song in A, uh, that's being done by Jim and Jean
It's their best song now, it's, um
It's made for harmonies, it's a— it's a good melody for harmonies
It's a strong song, it's, uh, called "I'll Be There", and it's a
Song that could've applied to a lot of different situations
Could've been an American Revolutionary song
Algerians at one time, Hungarians at one time

[Verse 1]
When the river of rebellion overflows, I'll be there
When the seed of discontent plants and grows, I'll be there
Watching for the sun through the dark and rainy storm
Searching for the keys to the dungeons old and worn
Let me tell you, I'll be there

[Verse 2]
When the shadow of the tyrant falls and sweeps across the land
And when men would steal from others with a paper in their hand
When people toiled for nothing underneath the burning sun
When their troubles would be over if they thought and fought as one
Let me tell you, I'll be there

[Chorus]
East or west or north or south, we're brothers to the core
The wind of freedom's blowing out of every distant shore
When the time is ready and the call is loud and clear
Let me tell you, I'll be there

[Verse 4]
When the thunder of oppression roars and crackles, I'll be there
And when those who would be free are wearing shackles, I'll be there
For the day is gonna come when they'll throw away their chains
Lift their heads and raise their arms for the struggle that remains
And let me tell you, I'll be there

[Chorus]
East or west or north or south, we're brothers to the core
The wind of freedom's blowing out of every distant shore
When the time is ready and the call is loud and clear
Let me tell you, I'll be there

[Outro]
When the thunder of oppression roars and crackles, I'll be there
And when those who would be free are wearing shackles, I'll be there
For the day is gonna come when they'll throw away their chains
Lift their heads and raise their arms for the struggle that remains
Let me tell you, let me tell you
Let me tell you, I'll be there
