Lyrics
I got your message on the phone so tell me what's going on?
I received your message on the phone; please share what's troubling you.
You say your day started so great and then it went so wrong
You describe that your day started well but took a negative turn.
No one ever plans for the bad days, do they, no
Unexpected difficulties arise, and no one plans for challenging days.
But I am here if you're needing a friend
I'm here for you if you need a friend or support.
Hey, don't give up tonight
Encouragement not to give up despite the current struggles.
I know you're going through the valley, but you're gonna make it out alright
Acknowledgment of going through tough times but assurance of overcoming them.
Hey, tell your troubles goodbye
Encouraging to bid farewell to troubles and leave them in the challenging situation.
Go on and leave it in the valley, leave it in the valley tonight
Advice to leave the challenges behind in the metaphorical valley tonight.
So you think he don't know what he's doing
Doubts expressed about God's awareness and presence in difficult situations.
You think he ain't by your side
Suspicions about God not being supportive and present in personal struggles.
Well, god knows when you're broken
Acknowledgment that God knows when one is broken and is providing love and comfort.
And he's loving you, he's holding you so, so tight
Assurance that God is holding and loving the person tightly during tough times.
So let the rain fall he'll be standing there getting wet with you
Symbolic imagery of facing challenges (rain) with God's presence and support.
You might get cold but you won't be there alone
Reassurance that although challenges may come (cold), the person is not alone.
And when you're hanging by a thread hold on
Encouragement to hold on even when situations seem precarious.
You know the darkest part is right before the dawn
Recognition that the most challenging part is just before a positive change (dawn).
So when your fear has worn you out
Addressing the weariness caused by fear and providing reassurance.
Feels like the sky is on the ground
Describing a difficult situation with a metaphor of the sky being on the ground.
He ain't gonna let you down
Belief that God will not let the person down during challenging times.
He'll never let you down
Affirmation that God will never disappoint or abandon the person.
