You Were There When No One Else Was

You were there when I was blind You were there when I fell behind When I didn't know what to do, you told me You helped me become me You were there when the world came crashing down You helped me get off the ground When it seemed everything was lost you gave me hope Throughout all my troubles you kept me afloat You were there when no one else was You were there to give me your undevoted love When everone was against me you didn't leave You were there to help me see You were there holding my hand Throughout my life you were my biggest fan When I wouldn't listen you never gave up When I was thirsty you filled my cup You were when I showed up on your doorstep For you, life I kept When I was tired you helped me rest You helped me become the very best You were there to help me stop crying You were there to say never stop trying When was lost you showed me the way Because you loved me, Life is now okay
