When your mother walks a mile, your father works all day br Count the steps she took, weigh the burden on his shoulder br Learn to gather her pace, when you learn the ropes, br Be There br br When your neighbour rejoices in fortunes and chance br Heed his tread; note the sun, the heat and the speed of the winds br For only in his stride, you will estimate riches and prospects br Be There br br Be there with your mother’s foot, be there with your father’s hand br Be present for your neighbour’s tale br For each star that shines orbiting the sun br Be There br br Just like the sun - Be There br br 230108br br Sylvi Sylvabr br
