Texty: Brian McComas. I'll Always Be There for You.

Late night call collect from Arkansas
She said, "Brother I need your help"
She said, "There's this boy" and I could tell by the crack in her voice
She was in real trouble and all by herself

She said, "I don't want to be a burden, it's not your problem
Maybe I should just hang up
After all we're years apart and not much in common
And we haven't kept in touch"

And I said, "I may have moved away
And I know that on the day I left, I let you down
But you're still my baby sister, so always remember
It's by blood that we are bound
I may be here but I'll always be there for you

I know it's bad but you gotta tell mom and dad
You don't have to do this all alone
If I leave right now, I should be there by morning
And we can tell them together when I get home

We'll talk and pray and cry a little, we'll work this thing out
We'll so whatever it takes
We'll stand beside you try to guide you, that's what family's about
But it's your decision to make

Six months later on a Sunday morning that baby girl was born
And we all stood in wonder around the bed
Looking at her in that little pink sleeper
I knew in my heart that she wanted to keep her
But God had a bigger plan instead

A young couple came and I heard my sister say
"I just wanna give my child the life that she deserves"
We all held hands, then she handed her to them
And we all cried as she whispered these words

"I'll think about you everyday
I'm only giving you away 'cause I can't raise you now
I brought you into this world, you'll always be my little girl
It's by blood that we are bound
I may be here but I'll always be there for you
I may be here but I'll always be there for you"
