Bridge over Troubled Water
A Beacon in Darkness: Nurturing Hope through Troubled Waters
Lyrics
When you're down and out
Offering support and comfort when experiencing difficulties or challenges.
When you're on the street
Being there for someone during times of homelessness or vulnerability.
When evening falls so hard
During the difficult moments of the day, possibly representing a metaphorical evening of life's challenges.
I will comfort you
Expressing the commitment to provide solace and reassurance.
I'll take your part, oh, when darkness comes
Taking the other person's side when faced with adversity and darkness.
And pain is all, is all around
Acknowledging the pervasiveness of pain and challenges in life.
Just like a bridge over troubled water
Comparing the support offered to a bridge over troubled water, symbolizing stability and aid.
I will lay me down
Expressing the willingness to sacrifice and provide support, even to the point of laying down one's own comfort.
Just like a bridge over troubled water
Reiterating the commitment to be a reliable source of support during difficult times.
I will lay me down
Emphasizing the dedication to offering comfort and stability as a constant presence.
Sail on, silver girl
Encouraging perseverance and resilience, likening the person to a "silver girl" sailing through challenges.
Sail on by
Continuing the encouragement to move forward despite difficulties.
Your time has come to shine
Highlighting a moment of success or achievement in the person's life.
All of your dreams are on their way
Expressing optimism about the fulfillment of dreams and goals.
See how they shine
Observing and celebrating the person's bright and shining future.
Oh, if you ever need a friend
Offering ongoing friendship and support in times of need.
Look around I'm sailing right behind
Being physically present and supportive as the person faces challenges.
Just like a bridge over troubled water
Reiterating the analogy of being a bridge over troubled water, ready to provide support.
I'll be there to lay me down
Committing to being there and offering comfort whenever needed.
Like a bridge over troubled water
Repeating the imagery of a bridge over troubled water, symbolizing steadfast support.
I will lay me down
Affirming the commitment to provide support and comfort, even by laying down one's own well-being.
