Bridge Over Troubled Water
A Haven in Hard Times: David Archuleta's Compassionate 'Bridge Over Troubled Water'
Lyrics
When you're weary, feeling small,
Expressing support during difficult times when someone feels tired and small.
When tears are in your eyes, I will dry them all;
Offering to comfort and console when tears are present.
I'm on your side. When times get rough
Declaring allegiance and support during challenging moments.
And friends just can't be found,
Acknowledging that sometimes friends may not be available or helpful.
Like a bridge over troubled water
Using the metaphor of a bridge to symbolize assistance during troubled times.
I will lay me down.
Committing to self-sacrifice and offering help by laying down for the other's benefit.
Like a bridge over troubled water
Repeating the commitment to be a source of support like a bridge over troubled water.
I will lay me down.
Reiterating the willingness to sacrifice and provide assistance in difficult situations.
When you're down and out,
Being there for someone during their low moments, when they are down and out.
When you're on the street,
Extending support even when the person is facing challenges on the street.
When evening falls so hard
Expressing commitment to comfort during the darkest and most challenging times.
I will comfort you.
Offering consolation and a pledge to stand by the person's side.
I'll take your part.
Committing to taking the person's side and supporting them.
When darkness comes
Being there for the person when darkness and pain surround them.
And pain is all around,
Reiterating the metaphor of a bridge as a symbol of support in troubled times.
Like a bridge over troubled water
Renewing the commitment to self-sacrifice for the well-being of the other.
I will lay me down.
Repeating the willingness to lay down as a bridge over troubled water.
Like a bridge over troubled water
Emphasizing the steadfast commitment to providing support and comfort.
I will lay me down.
Reiterating the pledge to lay down as a bridge over troubled water.
Sail on silvergirl,
Addressing someone as "silvergirl" and encouraging them to keep going.
Sail on by.
Encouraging the person to continue sailing through life.
Your time has come to shine.
Acknowledging that it's their time to shine and succeed.
All your dreams are on their way.
Assuring that their dreams are on the way to fulfillment.
See how they shine.
Highlighting the brightness and success of the person's dreams.
If you need a friend
Offering friendship and support, ready to follow and assist.
I'm sailing right behind.
Using the metaphor of sailing behind to symbolize constant support.
Like a bridge over troubled water
Reiterating the commitment to be a bridge over troubled water, easing the person's mind.
I will ease your mind.
Expressing the intention to alleviate the person's worries and concerns.
Like a bridge over troubled water
Renewing the commitment to be a source of comfort and relief.
I will ease your mind.
Reiterating the intention to ease the person's mind and provide support.
