Discover the story of the song > Will You Be There? – Michael Jackson

The protagonist is asking his partner if she will always be there for him, to hold him when he needs it, scold him when he's wrong, find him when he's lost, and show him the way when he's confused. He understands that he's only human, but he needs her to love and care for him, and to be faithful even when it gets tough. He promises to always keep her in his heart, through good times and bad, and asks if she will do the same.
