Always Here Lyrics🎧
Verse 1
If you ever need a shoulder to lean on
If you ever need a smile to keep you going
If you ever need an ear to rant and vent to
I'll be here always, know

You are loved, You are known
You are seen, and esteemed
You are loved, You are known
You are seen, and esteemed
Verse 2
If you ever feel like the weight's too heavy
If you ever feel like the road's too long
If you ever feel like you are all alone
I'll be here always know
Chorus
You are loved, You are known
You are seen, and esteemed
You are loved, You are known
You are seen, and esteemed
Always Here Song Story
I started writing this song on 3 April 2023. It was one of my friend's birthday (Ess) , I wanted to sing for her to remind her God loves her, God knows everything about her and that God cares, and that if anything were to ever happen she should go to God. With her burdens, fears , doubts, questions and rants.
The song is like a 2 sided page. It is vertical and horizontal. I wanted her to know that she could come to me, and I will be here for her, and I also wanted her to know that she should go to God , he never leaves.
I have cried to this song, I have been remined of truths I needed to hold on to when life got tough and crazy, and I have sang it over my loved ones. I hope you get to do the same.
