Bridge Over Troubled Water
Soothing Support in Stormy Times
Lyrics
When you're weary, feeling small,
Expressing empathy and support for someone feeling tired and small.
When tears are in your eyes, I will dry them all;
Commitment to comfort and console by drying the tears.
I'm on your side. When times get rough
Declaring solidarity during challenging times.
And friends just can't be found,
Recognizing that sometimes friends may not be available for support.
Like a bridge over troubled water
Using the metaphor of a bridge to symbolize providing stability in troubled times.
I will lay me down.
Reiterating the willingness to sacrifice and support, even laying down for the other person.
Like a bridge over troubled water
Repeating the commitment to being a bridge over troubled water.
I will lay me down.
Emphasizing the determination to support and provide solace.
When you're down and out,
Extending support during difficult times or adversity.
When you're on the street,
Acknowledging challenges when one is in a difficult situation.
When evening falls so hard
Expressing the commitment to offer comfort during emotionally challenging moments.
I will comfort you.
Promising to be there for the person in need.
I'll take your part.
Assuring active support and participation in the other person's struggles.
When darkness comes
Addressing the difficult times marked by darkness and pain.
And pain is all around,
Reiterating the commitment to be a source of support and comfort.
Like a bridge over troubled water
Repeating the metaphor of a bridge over troubled water for stability and assistance.
I will lay me down.
Reaffirming the willingness to lay down as a bridge in times of trouble.
Like a bridge over troubled water
Restating the commitment to be a supportive presence in challenging situations.
I will lay me down.
Reemphasizing the readiness to provide solace and support.
Sail on silvergirl,
Shifting the metaphor to a silver girl sailing, symbolizing a journey or progression.
Sail on by.
Encouraging the silver girl to continue her journey.
Your time has come to shine.
Acknowledging the moment for the person to shine and fulfill their potential.
All your dreams are on their way.
Expressing belief in the person's dreams and their realization.
See how they shine.
Highlighting the brightness and fulfillment of the person's dreams.
If you need a friend
Offering continued friendship and support.
I'm sailing right behind.
Symbolizing a supportive presence sailing closely behind the person.
Like a bridge over troubled water
Returning to the bridge metaphor, pledging to ease the person's troubled mind.
I will ease your mind.
Reiterating the commitment to bring comfort and peace of mind.
Like a bridge over troubled water
Stating the intention to be a bridge over troubled water for mental ease.
I will ease your mind.
Reaffirming the commitment to providing peace of mind and support.
