I Just Want To Be There
I wrote this song back in the mid 1980′s. The songs lyrics are about my grandfather, Theodore Chen, who was of failing health but he had not yet passed away. On this web site somewhere is a version of me playing the song on my guitar. Since I know my limitations, I asked a friend of mine to rearrange the song, and also give it professional production values. I think it turned out great. More to come. I am hoping that we can work together to redo all of my songs. Here’s the first one.
D A E
People running all around this world
D A E
Trying to make a dime
D A E
I just wish they'd open their eyes
D A E
Like I've opened mine
A D
Sitting here knocking on heaven's door
A E
Waiting for the Lord to come
A D
I just want to be there Lord
D A E
To see the Son
D A E
My grandfather is a great great man
D A E
But he's getting a little old
D A E
I just need to love him more
D A E
As the age takes hold
A D
Cause one day soon he'll leave this world
A E
I pray it won't be long

I just want to be there Lord

When you make him strong

Let me tell you about this boss of mine
D A E
Making our lives a hell
D A E
Sometimes I just have to laugh

He does it well

But one day there'll be judgement day
A E
Looking the Lord in the face
A D
I just want to be there Lord
D A E
When he pleads his case
D A E
People running all around this world

Trying to make a dime

Like I've opened mine
