Eurovision Song Contest · Eurovision Song Contest 2002 [2002]

I can be the sunshine today

I'll be there to help you go on, on your way

I can be the sweet moonlight

I'll be there to guide you through the night

I can keep you warm in the rain

I'll be there to make you so happy again

There's no broken heart I can't mend

It is really easy and you will understand



Say a world and I'll be there, say a world and I'll be there

Say a world and I'll be there, say a world and I will care

Say a world and I'll be there, say a world and I'll be there

Say a world and I'll be there, say a world and I will care



If you're feeling lost and alone

I'll be there to help you carry on

If you're feeling blue and you need a friend

I'll be there to give you a helping hand

If you feel like losing your pride

I'll be there to give you a place where to hide

If you feel your life just goes wrong

I'll be there if you need someone to lean on



Say a world and I'll be there, say a world and I'll be there

Say a world and I'll be there, say a world and I will care

Say a world and I'll be there, say a world and I'll be there

Say a world and I'll be there, say a world and I will care



(Life will be better,) so open up your eyes now

(Life will be better,) we can stand together as one

(Life will be better,) together we will change the whole world

(Life will be better) Oh yeah yeah yeah,



(Say a world and I'll be there, say a world and I will care)

I will take care of you, of course I will be there

(Say a world and I'll be there, say a world and I will care)

Oh, Listen what I say, I'll be there for you



(Say a world and I'll be there, say a world and I will care)

I'll be there, I will care, you'd better listen now

(Say a world and I'll be there, say a world and I will care)

If you need someone, yeah



Listen now 'cause I'll be there
