I'Ll Be There- For Bridge Contest

When you've suffered great loss
 And sorrow's span seems too far to cross
 I'll be there with a hand to lend
 Your broken heart I will mend

 When you're drowning in your tears
 And you think that no one cares
 I'll be your friend, with love to send
 Your broken heart I will mend

 I'll be your bridge over waters deep
 And if your journey gets too steep
 A  helping hand I will extend
 Your broken heart I will mend

 When you're feeling lonely and sad
 And in depression you're clad
 I'll be there to be your friend
 Your broken heart, I will mend
