I Have Been There

<p>In a room without a view, a new mother smiles<br/>And holds the tiny fingers of her brand new baby girl<br/>Her husband takes her by the hand, so unsure about the future<br/>And no money can they make it in this world?<br/><br/>And they pray, &quot;Lord all we have to give is love&quot;<br/>And they heard a gentle voice like an echo from above<br/><br/>&quot;I have been there, I know what fear is all about<br/>Yes, I have been there and I&#x27;m standing with you now<br/>I have been there and I came to build the bridge<br/>Oh, so this road will lead you home, oh, I have been there&quot;<br/><br/>He&#x27;s been a pastor twenty years but tonight he sits alone<br/>And broken hearted in the corner of the church<br/>He tried to change a fallen world with his words and with his wisdom<br/>But it seems like it is only getting worse<br/>And he cries, &quot;Oh Lord, I just don&#x27;t understand&quot;<br/>Then he felt the hand of grace and he heard a voice that said<br/><br/>&quot;I have been there I know what pain is all about<br/>Yes, I have been there and I&#x27;m standing with you now<br/>I have been there and I came to build a bridge<br/>Oh, so this road will lead you home, oh, I have been there&quot;<br/><br/>An older man up on a hill holding flowers<br/>But he can&#x27;t hold back the tears<br/>Oh he has come to say goodbye<br/>He thinks about the life she lived<br/>Thinks about how hard it&#x27;s been to live without her<br/>Sixty years right by his side<br/><br/>And he cries, &quot;Oh Lord, I loved her till the end&quot;<br/>And he heard a gentle voice say, &quot;You&#x27;ll see her once again&quot;<br/><br/>&quot;I have been there I know what sorrow&#x27;s all about<br/>Yes, I have been there and I&#x27;m standing with you now<br/>I have been there and I came to build a bridge<br/>Oh, so this road will lead her home, the road will lead her home<br/><br/>&quot;Oh, I have been there you know I overcame the cross<br/>Yes, I have been there so her life would not be lost<br/>Oh, I have been there and I came to build a bridge<br/>So this road will lead you home, the road will lead you home&quot;<br/>&quot;Oh, I have been there<br/>Yes, I have been there&quot;
