I read about a girl who lived in a perfect world
With only a smile, she left us behind
She was going way too high
She believed she could fly
When really she was down so deep
All alone too proud to see

When you need someone
When you're hurting inside
When the road seems too long
To keep going on
When your dreams all fall down
No more tears left to cry
Whenever you need me
I'll be there

I heard about a guy I know he had it all
Got lost in a daze and blew it all away
Seems like having way too much
Is never enough
If you're ever down that deep
You can always call on me

When you need someone
When you're hurting inside
When the road seems too long
To keep going on
When your dreams all fall down
No more tears left to cry
Whenever you need me
I'll be there

Even in the darkest night
When the whispers of your mind
Tell you nothing
Oh no nothing's going right
I'll be there to shelter you
I'll be there to guide you through the shadows
Every time

When you need someone
When you're hurting inside
When the road seems too long
To keep going on going on
When your dreams all fall down
No more tears left to cry
Whenever you need me
I'll be there
