By Your Side
Embracing Strength and Love: A Song of Support by Rich Beeston
Lyrics
Hold me close
Desire for emotional closeness and support
Like a boat in a storm
Seeking comfort and stability in a challenging situation
Hold me close
Reiteration of the need for closeness and support
Hold me tight
Emphasizing the intensity of the desire for closeness
Like the bear in the bed
Comparing the request for closeness to a bear seeking comfort
Hold me tight
Reiterating the strong desire for closeness
And I will be strong
Expressing a commitment to be strong for the other person
So that you can be stronger than me
Encouraging the other person to be even stronger
When you stand on your own two feet
Promoting independence and self-sufficiency
And I know you'll find your own way
Expressing confidence in the other person's ability to find their own path
You will rule like a queen, all your days
Anticipating the other person's success and influence
And you will change the world if you try
Believing in the potential to make a positive impact on the world
And I will be happy if I can just stand by your side
Expressing happiness at the prospect of supporting the other person
There will be days
Acknowledging the existence of challenging days
When it feels like you can't make it through
Recognizing the difficulty of persevering during tough times
And there will be days
Expecting moments of darkness and adversity
When the darkest of clouds covers you
Describing challenging situations symbolized by dark clouds
But there will be days
Anticipating brighter days and positive breakthroughs
When it feels like the sun's breaking through
Visualizing a positive, sunny outcome and success
Shining gold over all that you do
Symbolizing success and positivity with the imagery of shining gold
And I know you'll find your own way
Reiterating confidence in the other person's ability to find their path
You will rule like a queen, all your days
Repeating the expectation of the other person's royal stature
And you will change the world if you try
Encouraging efforts to positively impact the world
And I will be happy if I can just stand by your side
Reiterating the joy in standing by the other person's side
Lay your head on me
Inviting vulnerability and closeness by laying one's head on the speaker
Lay your head on me
Repetition of the invitation to lay one's head on the speaker
Lay your head on me and I will keep you safe
Promise of safety and protection when laying one's head on the speaker
Lay your head on me
Repetition of the invitation to seek comfort by laying one's head on the speaker
Lay your head on me
Reiteration of the promise to provide safety and protection
Lay your head on me and I will keep you safe
Emphasizing the commitment to keep the other person safe
And I know you'll find your own way
Confidence in the other person's ability to find their own path
You will rule like a queen, all your days
Reiteration of the expectation of the other person's royal stature
And you will change the world if you try
Encouragement to make a positive impact on the world
And I will be happy if I can just stand by your side
Reaffirmation of happiness in standing by the other person's side
