Will Dempsey - Beat You There (Official Lyric Video)

Official Lyric Video for "Beat You There"

I'm excited to finally share this video with y'all. Since I've released the song, I've gotten thousands of messages and comments from people telling me how it has helped them to deal with the loss of someone they love. It's one of the hardest things in life and something we will all have to deal with at one point or another. And knowing that this song can help give people hope that they will see their loved one again is a great feeling.

I'm so glad that ya'll love this song just as much as I do. Share this with someone who needs it!

Lyrics:

I dont know why
God always takes the good ones first
and man I've tried
to be strong and carry on but damn this hurts

I just wish that I could talk to you again somehow, someway
even if its for a moment, so I can hear you say

Don't cry for me, I'm alright
I'm better than you know
This life can be a short ride
So don't waste it on sorrow
and just hold on to those moments,
and the memories we shared
we're both headed for the same place anyway
I just beat you there

I know they say
just give it a little time, you'll be ok
that might be true
but it don't really help me today
And we aint supposed to question
the Man upstairs
But theres just so much I don't understand
it just don't seem fair

Don't cry for me, I'm alright
I'm better than you know
This life can be a short ride
So don't waste it on sorrow
and just hold on to those moments,
and the memories we shared
we're both headed for the same place anyway
I just beat you there

And as each day goes by
I get a little bit stronger
But that don't stop me from wishing you
were here a little bit longer

So I'm gonna smile
when I think of you
like I know you'd want me to
And I know you're watching over me
In everything I do
and all those things I never got to say
I'll send them with this prayer
Then look up, wipe me tears and raise my beer

I'll see you there

Thank you for this song I decided a few day's before hearing this song to live, laugh, love again ❤️ I lost my gorgeous healthy daughter on 1-2-2022 and my husband has Alzheimer's and FTD Dementia and vascular Dementia. I'm just turned 49 years old. I am not young but I am not old either! I plan on living a wonderful life in honor of them. One day I'll see them again! Bless anyone who is going through this thing called crief!

A very dear friend of mine passed away 3 days shy of his wedding day. He was so excited to start a new journey with the love of his life. He was only 36. This song is beautiful! He definitely had a short ride on life, but he touched a lot of lives with his caring heart he had.

[Grizzelbear]

This just made me think of my grandma today. She passed away this morning 6-6-22. I miss her so much! She was our rock to the family, but I know she’s with Jesus and my grandpa❤️

[melissazantowsky]

To anyone who has lost anyone this song really hits every emotion. Stay strong 💪 they are okay and we will see them again one day. Hugs ❤

My daughter passed 2008. She was 18 and had just started college. She had a car accident. My comfort is knowing she is a Christian and Jesus had her hand. Her love for family, boyfriend and friends were strong but her Faith and Love for Jesus were stronger. So I know he had her wrapped with his loving hands telling her, it's time My child we've got big plans for your legacy. We miss you Kim, but I would never ask God to send you back. So until I see you again I'll let everyone see and feel your kindness and love.

My nephew lost his 3 year old daughter last Sunday. Glad one of my friends shared this song.

My heart goes out to all who have lost loves to suicide. Lost my 21 years daughter 2 years ago. This song is so appropriate. Thank you.

[juliecunningham]

I lost my dad May 7 2023 I can’t believe it’s been 4 months he was the best dad I could’ve ever asked for. Thank you so much for this beautiful song

[shannonkuhn]

I just lost my 22 years young son, Wyatt, on 02/22/25 & I have been listening to & searching for the perfect song for his memorial service we’re having in June. I just found it ~ I should say, this song found me just now!! I’m so grateful 😇🙏 b/c God is great & He knows what we need, when we need it!! It’s like this song literally fell into my lap tonight and I’m so grateful and blessed to receive it. God Bless ALL of you & yours 🥰🦋💕🌹😇🙏♾💯!!

I just read your post and my heart hurts for you. I am blessed with 5 children (adults now). As I raised them my biggest concern was if something happened to one of them. I truly hope you find an easier path each day to travel through life on and be stronger. I don’t know if you have other children but you mentioned your husband. They need you, they need to see that each day is a little better for you. Because they are also in pain. I have a strong belief that one day you will see your beautiful daughter again. She’s fine right now and wants you to be fine too. She’ll be there waiting for you when it’s your right time to leave this earth. But for now I’ll think of you whenever I hear Will Dempsey sing it. I like him a lot and I’ll include you in my prayers everyday. 🩷

I have lost 8 family members in under 3 short years plus many family and friends before that. This song has brought me so much peace, I listen to it continually and share it to anyone I know who suffers a loss. Thank you Will Dempsey for creating such an incredible song of healing 💕💕💕💕💕

I lost my 13 yr old grandson 3 months ago, he was my buddy, this song I picked and my son & daughter n law had it played at his funeral. I listen to it every day and it helps. Thanks Will

[ruthjerkins]

I lost 2 son's to cancer and my granddaughter drowned in a retention pond all within 10 years. And I discovered this song in honor of my oldest son I play it every month the 12th. I miss them so much Thank you for this song. I listen to it alot so many things in life reminds me of my boys. I just get sad and cry they say as time goes by it gets better but they are all wrong even therapy won't help. But this song helps me. Know they are in heaven ( my 3 Angels) Thank you for this wonderful song in memory of my oldest son that just past.

[brittanyhill]

This song is so wonderful. It helped me when I first heard it on TikTok I downloaded too. Whenever I miss my mom I listen to this song. I wish I could see my mom hear her voice give me advice again right now but I can’t. Losing her wasn’t easy. I could still feel the day I hug her and said goodbye for the last time. And when I broke down.

[michellemclaughlin]

This song hits hard. We lost my sister in law on Thanksgiving and my mom the day after. I am grateful God used this song to bring me a bit of peace. Love you mom, love you Jill

This song is amazing. It came at the right time. My nephew died in a motorcycle accident last week. This week my daughters grandpa passed away. This song is just what I needed to hear today. Thank you

[cherikelley-miller]

I lost my beautiful mama on January 21, 2024, and then my Daddy on October 8, 2024. I heard this song, and it really does help with the pain. It helps me know that Mom and Dad are watching over us. It doesn't stop the pain, and "man, this hurts, " but it does help. Rest in Heaven, Mommy, and Daddy. I love and miss you so much.

[jeremywilley]

Layer my dad to rest last week. This song just popped on my phone. I will say it's a well written song.. thank you who ever wrote this & God bless you all

[DebJohnson-bt]

This hit me this month. Lost my husband 7 years ago, miss him and love him deeply. Was my love, and best friend for 36 years. Thank you for this beautiful song.

[LadyFeburary]

Found this song and glad I did. My husband died 3 years ago today and this song gives me strength and makes my heart cry and smile at the same time. Love it and I hope it continues to heal everyone writing their own testimonies too.
