Capturing Campus: Be There

Be There

Who would save you from yourself

When caution signs turn invitation

Who would dampen the fire

At breakfast, lunch, and dinner

Who would force the world to turn

When the door is wedged

And you’re worried about tomorrow

Who would hold you in your head

And carry you in your waking

Who would love you when it’s hard

And calm you when it’s not

Who would be there 

When the drugs wear off

Living gets heavy

I won’t be there

I’m sorry
