If you hadn't been there, where would I be? ; Without your trust, love, or belief. The ups and downs, we've always shared. And if you hadn't been there, I wouldn't be here. If you were you, well, who would I be? You've always seen the best in me. Your beloved arms hugged me. You brought me closer and I believe.
I'm not here, If you haven't gone There; I'm holding my hand, I'll show you care;you I dared to dream;and I don't do it here, If you weren't;ohyou are my rock and a soft place to land;my Wings, my confidence, you understand;your Beyond motivation and comparison;noI'm not here, If you didn't go there.
i haven't here, If you haven't gone There; When I was scared, press me. I thank God and your love care; And to give me more room to spare and love. You climbed me up and made me the top Stairs; I wouldn't be here, if you weren't there, I wouldn't be here. If you weren't there, I wouldn't be here.
