JUST BE THERE

1st verse: Illustrate with a boy name Johnny/ who was an innocent bystander /but that didn't matter to the father that strayed/Could you feel the pain?/See his Mamma cries out /knowing things will never be the same/How can I cope ?/ Asking this to herself / a single parent now responsible without help/ from the father figure/ who pack his bags then gone/ is my description cause he never pickup the phone/ or wrote to see to his child welfare/ sometimes it makes me wander do some parents really care to share/ time with their children/ instead of judging them all the time/ take some time to listen/ respect must be earn/ it shouldn't be forced/ that is why you see domestic violence leading to divorce/ in the family/ might not be between the couple/it could be your own child in this spiritual rebuttal/ separated lack of communication in the home even though physical bodies are at home. Chorus: Just Be There/ Many Have Broken Hearts I Could Testify From The Start/ Just Be There/ They Say Time Can Heal The Wounds But For Some Its Never Too Soon / Just Be There/ Never To Be Left Alone/ When You Know The Seed Is Your Own/ Just Be There/ Who Will They Look Up To/ If None Else The Best Should Be You 2nd verse: How long has it been over twenty something years of times that weren't shared /so I learnt from what appeared/ as a single parent home/ I wasn't alone/ thank God for Mom who was there when Pops gone/ where you came from shouldn't factor your outcome/ don't repeat the cycle with your own daughter and son/ some of us grew up/ under diverse circumstance/ but it does a lot when someone was there to stand/ from years that mattered/ leaves a good impression/ love is not limited to paternal connection/ a blessing learn to love others as yourself you'll appreciate from the other end how is felt as its dealt/ relation to paternal shift/ it's 24-7 forever to cherish/ even if parents aren't presently together/ that shouldn't hinder what's already here to treasure. (Chorus) 3rd verse: Portraits can't segregate it's too late/going deeper as emotion is heartfelt or played/ inner moments/ where memories are components like watching yourself on a set having affect on how you view/ certain things come to mind/ the importance of family and that of spending time for we have many houses but not many homes cause there ain't no perfect peace if neglect is going on/ see the debit what ever happen to the credit that's the children who wasn't at fault to be here/ it was done take responsibility as one of the two an example which they can look to Mom-Dad/ parents have quite an awesome task /it's a learning process to be faithful with what a have/ for the journey as a parent /is the process with your own child and that's what makes it worthwhile. (Chorus)
