Bridge Over Troubled Water
A Guiding Light in Dark Times: Bridge Over Troubled Water
Lyrics
When you're weary, feeling small,
Expressing support and comfort for someone feeling weary and small.
When tears are in your eyes, I will dry them all;
Promising to provide solace by drying the tears in the person's eyes.
I'm on your side. When times get rough
Stating allegiance and support during challenging times.
And friends just can't be found,
Acknowledging the difficulty of finding friends in tough situations.
Like a bridge over troubled water
Metaphorically comparing oneself to a bridge over troubled water, symbolizing support.
I will lay me down.
Committing to laying down one's own well-being to help the troubled person.
Like a bridge over troubled water
Reiterating the commitment to act as a supportive bridge.
I will lay me down.
Repeating the willingness to sacrifice for the person in need.
When you're down and out,
Offering support during difficult times and moments of despair.
When you're on the street,
Extending help when the person is facing challenges on the street.
When evening falls so hard
Expressing readiness to comfort when the evening becomes emotionally challenging.
I will comfort you.
Promising to provide comfort and take the person's side.
I'll take your part.
Committing to stand by the person's side and support them.
When darkness comes
Acknowledging the presence of darkness and pain in the person's life.
And pain is all around,
Like a bridge, pledging to lay down to support during times of trouble.
Like a bridge over troubled water
Reiterating the commitment to be a bridge over troubled water.
I will lay me down.
Renewing the promise to sacrifice for the person's well-being.
Like a bridge over troubled water
Repeating the metaphorical commitment to be a supportive bridge.
I will lay me down.
Emphasizing the willingness to lay down and provide support.
Sail on silvergirl,
Addressing a "silvergirl" and encouraging her to continue sailing.
Sail on by.
Urging the person to sail on, suggesting the speaker's belief in her success.
Your time has come to shine.
Recognizing that it's the person's time to shine and succeed.
All your dreams are on their way.
Expressing confidence that the person's dreams are on the way to realization.
See how they shine.

If you need a friend
Offering friendship and companionship to the person in need.
