Cover art for I'll Be Here a While lyrics by 311

This song means everything to me...to me, its about dealing with hard times that you will inevitably face in your life but knowing that things will turn out good in the end. I cried like a baby when they played this in Cleveland back in 2001...Whenever I am going through a hard time, I listen to this song and I see that I will get through the hard times and I will be stronger and a better person for it. I thank 311 for making this music that has the capacity to evoke that feeling and positive thinking in me. aLLie
