Lyrics
I'm looking for a friend to hold the door
I'm seeking a companion to be considerate and hold open the door.
It's cold outside, when you don't know where to find
Life feels harsh when you are unsure where to seek comfort.
A sheltered place, secluded from the race
Looking for a protected and peaceful place away from the challenges of life.
Of this old life
Referring to the struggles and complexities of the speaker's existence.
When I walked out in the down pour with no raincoat
Walking in heavy rain without protection, vulnerable and exposed.
I was soaked down to the bone, from head to toe
Being completely drenched in the rain from head to toe.
Without my raincoat, anywhere I may go
Without a safeguard (raincoat), facing challenges wherever the speaker goes.
I get wet somehow
Encountering difficulties or challenges regardless of the speaker's location.
I found that friend and he's with me till the end
Discovering a reliable friend who promises to stay with the speaker till the end.
He's promised me that he won't forsake his own
The friend assures the speaker that he will not abandon or forsake them.
And when a promise never ends
Highlighting the enduring nature of the promise made by the friend.
It can only mean one thing, it's from above
Interpreting the unending promise as something divine or from a higher source.
When I walk out in the down pour with my raincoat
Walking confidently in the rain with protection (raincoat) symbolizing faith.
After all is said and done, he's still the One
Emphasizing that, regardless of circumstances, the friend remains dependable.
With my raincoat, anywhere I may go, I know I'm all right
With the friend (raincoat), the speaker feels secure and reassured wherever they go.
And when I walk out in the down pour with my raincoat
Reiteration of the security and confidence provided by the friend (raincoat).
And after all is said and done, he's still the One
Despite challenges, the friend remains a constant and reliable source of support.
With my raincoat, anywhere I may go, I know I'm all right
Feeling secure and confident in any situation with the friend's presence (raincoat).
Now I walk out in the down pour, here is my rainncoat
Expressing a sense of confidence and security in the midst of life's challenges with the metaphorical raincoat.
