Maybe the last update to this song. John Bowen was nice enough to provide me with a proper piano and synth string section.

Lyrics
"I'll Be Right Here"
2011 J. Ryce
At the age of 13, I guess I was kind of mean
To the best friend I ever had
He never asked a lot, and I took all I got
Sometimes that made him mad
Just before I'd walk away
He'd look at me and say
CHORUS:
I'll be right here, I'll be the one
Under the porch light when you are done
I'll be right here, I'll never go
I believe in you, I want you to know
When you find your way
I'll be right here.
When I turned 22, there was nothing he could do
But watch me crash and burn
Spent most nights on the street, couldn't make it to my feet
You'd think someday I'd learn
He’d take me by the hand
Tell me time and again
CHORUS:
BRIDGE:
I wasn't home when the phone rang
But the message played so clear
Well I just turned 35, my friend had lost his life
And I wasn't there for him
I was in another town, trying to turn my life around
To make him proud again
And I miss you so much dad
I thought we had more time then you had
It’s breaking this heart of mine
I want to hear you one more time
CHORUS:
I think I just found my way, I'll be right here
