Words and Music by Mark Schultz

From the recording: Song Cinema, Track #4.

In a room without a view

A new mother smiles and holds the tiny fingers

Of a brand new baby girl

husband takes her by the hand

So unsure about the future and no money

Can they make it in this world

And they pray, Lord all we have to give is love

and they heard a gentle voice, like an echo from above

I have been there

I know what fear is all about

Yes, I have been there

and I'm standing with you now

I have been there

And I came to build a bridge so that this road could lead you home

Oh I have been there

He'd been a pastor 20 years

But tonight he sits alone and brokenhearted in the corner of the church

tried to save a fallen world

With his words and with his wisdom

But it seems like it is only getting worse

And he cries, Oh Lord I just don't understand

then he felt the hand of grace, and he heard a voice that said

I have been there

I know what pain is all about

yes, I have been there

And I am standing with you now

I have been there

And I came to build a bridge so that this road could lead you home

Oh I have been there

there's a man upon hill

Holding flowers but he can't hold back the tears

o, He has come to say goodbye

He thinks about the life she lived

Thinks about how hard it's been to live without her

60 years right by his side

And he cries, Oh Lord I loved her 'til the end

Then he heard a gentle voice say you'll see her once again

I have been there

I know what sorrow is all about

Yes, I have been there

And I am standing with you now

I have been there

And I came to build a bridge so that this road could lead you home

The road could lead you home

Oh I have been there

you know I overcame the cross

I have been there

So your life would not be lost

I have been there

And I came to build a bridge that this road could lead you home

This road could lead you home

Oh I have been there
