Because You Are There
Call it a game
You might call it a cruel game Luck of the draw
Who gets their share
One man a prince
cnd one man a pauper
Throw the dice high boy
Or no one will care boy
But what really counts?
What really matters?
Wait said the poor man
I have my share
I see your smile
Shine like the sun shines
I am a rich man
Because you are there
They can't call me me poor Because I have no money Lord
What do I care
I have life and love
cnd I have tomorrow, Lord Because you are there
When the life is hard
When the boss shouts loudly Lord
What do I care
While I still have my voice
I can sing back proudly Lord Because you are there
When the banker man
Takes my home and money
Lord
Yes I despair
But he won't break my heart
Or tear love apart, thank the Lord Because you are there
If they steal my car
I can't buy another one
But what do I care
No one can steal my soul They can't steal my brother cnd because you are there
They can't take my land They can't take my country
Lord
They can't take my air Man will fade away
But his land will stay, Lord Because you are there
Life can cause me pain
Life can cause me sorrow, Lord We all take our share
But we all smile again
When we wake tomorrow, Lord Because you are there
cnd when I wake up
See the sun is shining
Lord
Like heavenly prayer
I go to bed at night
Glad the moon is rising
cnd glad because you are there
(Yes) It's an unfair game
In an unfair world and
Lord, so many don't care But we all take our chance cnd we keep on going, Lord Because you are there
cnd one day we''ll all go
We know, we'll all go
cnd Lord nobody knows where But I won't be sad
cfter all I've had, Lord Because you were there
cnd the real poor man
The really poor man
Whose life is unfair
The man who sees a child
But he doesn't smile
Doesn't know Lord that you're there
It's all about the child
Who fills life with smiles
cnd because, because you are there
Call it a game
You might call it a cruel game Luck of the draw
Who gets their share
One man a prince
cnd one man a pauper
Throw the dice high boy Or no one will care boy But what really counts? What really matters? Wait said the poor man But I have my share
I see your smile
It shines like the sun shines cnd I am a rich man Because you are there
