I Have Been There Lyrics

Artist : SCHULTZ, MARK
Album : Song Cinema

In a room without a view
A new mother smiles and holds the tiny fingers
Of her brand new baby girl
Her husband takes her by the hand
So unsure about the future and no money
Can they make it in this world
And they pray, Lord all we have to give is love
Then they heard a gentle voice, like an echo from above

I have been there
I know what fear is all about
Yes, I have been there
I'm standing with you now
I have been there
And I came to build a bridge oh so this road could lead you home
Oh I have been there

He'd been a pastor twenty years
But tonight he sits alone and brokenhearted in the corner of the church
He's tried to save a fallen world
With his words and with his wisdom
But it seems like it is only getting worse
And he cried, Oh Lord I just don't understand
And then he felt the hand of grace, and he heard a voice that said

Yes, I have been there
I know what pain is all about
I have been there
And I am standing with you now
I have been there
And I came to build a bridge oh so this road could lead you home
Oh I have been there

An older man up on hill
Holding flowers but he can't hold back the tears
He has come to say goodbye
He thinks about the life she lived
Thinks about how hard it's been to live without her
Sixty years right by his side
And he cries, Oh Lord I loved her 'til the end
Then he heard a gentle voice say you'll see her once again

I have been there
I know what sorrow is all about
Yes, I have been there
And I am standing with you now
I have been there
And I came to build a bridge oh so this road could lead her home
The road could lead her home

Oh I have been there
Well I overcame the cross
I have been there
So her life would not be lost
I have been there
And I came to build a bridge oh so this road could lead you home
The road could lead you home
Oh I have been there
