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
Have 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 and I'm standing with you now.
I have been there
And I came to build the bridge oh so this road could lead you home.
Oh I have been there.
He's 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 don't 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 about
Yes I have been there, and 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.
An older man up on a hill
Holding flowers but he can't hold back the tears.
Oh 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 till the end
And he heard a gentle voice say you'll see her once again
I have been there
I know what sorrow's all about
Yes i have been there and i'm 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, 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
