Be Sure, I'm One

when you set your sight on the next goal,
and there are a hundred of them,
rooting for you,
be sure i'm one.

when you're under the weather,
and there's family praying for you,
be sure,
somewhere afar, i'm one, too

when you're by yourself,
rummaging through the messages,
and a line of tears is unstoppable,
you wondered if anyone truly understood,
and the thought crossed who to count on,
be sure, I'm certainly one

if someone is gasping for breath,
maybe knows he's on the home stretch,
and still praying for you,
be sure, I'm the one

if the phone stops ringing,
and there's none around,
to talk those silly nothings,
be sure, I am gone
