I'll Be There Somehow

I was young, I was restless then,
Chasin’ lines I couldn’t bend.
Every town felt almost right,
Every love burned out of sight.
I said things I didn’t mean,
Left too much behind unseen.
But if you ask me what I’ve found—
I’m still standin’ my ground.
I don’t know where the wind will go,
I don’t know what tomorrow brings,
But when the night gets heavy slow—
I’ll be there somehow,
When the lights go low and the truth comes out.
I’ll be there somehow,
When your strength runs thin and the room goes quiet now.
I don’t promise stars or crowns—
But I’ll be there somehow.
I’ve seen hope learn how to wait,
I’ve seen love arrive too late.
Some hearts bend, some stand proud,
Some just learn to speak out loud.
I’ve walked roads I won’t deny,
Lost myself to find my spine.
If you’re lookin’ for solid ground—
I’m still standin’ around.
I don’t claim I know the way,
I just know I won’t turn back,
If you say my name and stay—
I’ll be there somehow,
When the doors all close and the doubt breaks out.
I’ll be there somehow,
When you’re holdin’ on but you don’t know how.
I don’t swear I won’t fall down—
But I’ll be there somehow.
Maybe love ain’t thunder loud,
Maybe it’s just stayin’ around.
Doesn’t shine, doesn’t shout,
Just doesn’t walk out.
I’ll be there somehow,
Through the long nights in the here and now.
I’ll be there somehow,
When you need a voice, not a vow.
I don’t promise I know how—
But I’ll be there somehow.
If the road runs thin and the answers don’t,
If you need a reason just to hold—
Say my name out loud…
I’ll be there somehow.
