Lyrics John Legend

John Legend

Right by You (For Luna)

Will you live like me, in a world run by desire?

Will you wake from worldly dream and not be tired?

Will you work like me to lift the conversation higher?

Will you be cool like water putting out the fire?

How can you be free from all this sorrow?

Will the ones you love today be gone tomorrow?

And if angels don't have answers to your prayers

Oh, I will be there, oh I will be there

And if who you love don't want your love, well then...

Do you cut a deal with love and run again?

You see, love contains the meaning of despair

Will you think like me? Will you have your mother's fire?

Maybe the way we are will not be how you're wired

Will we do right by you? Will we you have what you require

To make your days on this Earth not so dire?

Can you choose to lead if no one follows?

And if we fell today, must you tomorrow?

Sanctify your answer not your prayer

Oh, I will be there, yeah, I will be there

Yeah, I will be there

And even when it all becomes too much

When you're growing old and feeling out of touch

Listen to this song and just take care

And know that I will be there, yeah, I will be there

No, I swear that I will, yeah, I promise I will

Little girl, I'm cryin'
