They just care that you're there
They don't mind if you stay upstairs
They just care that you're there
They don't know if you're all you've ever wanted to be
Or if life has answered your prayers
They just want you to be there
They just want you to be there
They don't mind if you're mad and yell
As long as it's not at them
Doesn't matter you're sad, they can tell
It's not because of them
They don't know that you're striving to be someone
And you're not sure how you will fare
They just want you to be there
They just want you to be there
They just want you to be there
Just as long as you're somewhat right
You can do no wrong
Their trusting eyes looking up at you
Believing you're so strong
They don't know that in time they'll grow into your shoes
They'll pound the ground and they'll swear
But they'll want you to be there
They just want you to be there
They just want you to be there
And you know, I know, you know, I know, it's clear
A thousand percent for you, I am, I am, I'm here
And you know I know I know you know it's clear
A thousand percent for you I am, I am I'm here
A thousand percent for you I am, I am, I am, I'm here
And I know, I know, I know
And I know, I know, it's clear
And I know, I know, I know, it's clear
They don't care if you brush your hair They just care that you're there They don't mind if you stay upstairs They just care that you're there They don't know if you're all you've ever wanted to be Or if life has answered your prayers They just want you to be there They just want you to be there They don't mind if you're mad and yell As long as it's not at them Doesn't matter you're sad, they can tell It's not because of them They don't know that you're striving to be someone And you're not sure how you will fare They just want you to be there They just want you to be there They just want you to be there Just as long as you're somewhat right You can do no wrong Their trusting eyes looking up at you Believing you're so strong They don't know that in time they'll grow into your shoes They'll pound the ground and they'll swear But they'll want you to be there They just want you to be there They just want you to be there And you know, I know, you know, I know, it's clear A thousand percent for you, I am, I am, I'm here And you know I know I know you know it's clear A thousand percent for you I am, I am I'm here A thousand percent for you I am, I am, I am, I'm here And I know, I know, I know And I know, I know, it's clear And I know, I know, I know, it's clear Explain Request ×
