I Have Been There

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'
And they heard a gentle voice like an echo from above'I have been there, I know what fear is all aboutYes, I have been there and Im standing with you nowI have been there and I came to build the bridgeOh, so this road could lead you home, oh, I have been there'
Hes been a pastor twenty years but tonight he sits alone
And broken hearted in the corner of the church
He tried to change a fallen world with his words and with his wisdom
But it seems like it is only getting worse
And he cries, 'Oh Lord, I just dont understand'
Then he felt the hand of grace and he heard a voice that said'I have been there I know what pain is all aboutYes, I have been there and Im standing with you nowI have been there and I came to build a bridgeOh, so this road could lead you home, oh, I have been there'
An older man up on a hill holding flowers
But he cant hold back the tears
Oh he has come to say goodbye
He thinks about the life she lived
Thinks about how hard its been to live without her
Sixty years right by his side
And he cries, 'Oh Lord, I loved her till the end'
And he heard a gentle voice say, 'Youll see her once again''I have been there I know what sorrows all aboutYes, I have been there and Im standing with you nowI have beenthere and I came to build a bridgeOh, so this road could lead her home, the road could lead her home'
Oh, I have been there you know
I overcame the cross
Yes, I have been there so her life would not be lost
Oh, I have been there and
I came to build a bridge
So this road could lead you home, the road could lead you home''
Oh , I have been there
Yes, I have been there'
