When there's trouble and there's bound to be
Don't you worry, you can count on me
And when the storm has drifted out to sea
I'll be there and you can count on me
But when the storm is rolling, and there's no place to hide
(I will be there)
And when the wars of old begin, and you've gotta take a side
(I will be there)
And there'll be nights when you're fighting for your rights
And all your friends will walk away
And you'll be strong, as you've had to be for so long
But I'll be there anyway
Cuz when you're standing on crumbling ground
And the sky starts tumbling down
WelI will always be around, you can count on me
You count on me
When you've got to be discreet on your way through town
(I will be there)
And when they stop you on the street, trying to break you down
(I will be there)
Now ladies they'll attack you til you fall, til you come undone
(I will be there)
Then when your back's against the wall, and there's nowhere
And there's nowhere, nowhere to run
(I will be there)
Cause when you're standing on crumbling ground
And the sky starts tumbling down
I will always be around, you can count on me
You can count on me
You can count on me
Count on me
