Bridge Over Troubled Waters
Johnny Cash Lyrics

When you're weary, feeling small
When life gets you down and you feel like you can't go on

When tears are in your eyes, I will dry them all
I'll be there to comfort you and wipe away your tears

I'm on your side when times get rough
I'll stand beside you and support you through difficult times

And friends just can't be found
When you feel like you have nobody to turn to

Like a bridge over troubled water
Just as a bridge supports and carries you over a troubled body of water, I will support and carry you through your troubles

I will lay me down
I will sacrifice myself and my needs to help and support you

When you're down and out
When you feel like you've hit rock bottom

When you're on the street
When you have nowhere to go and nobody to help you

When evening falls so hard
When life becomes dark and difficult

I will comfort you
I will be there to offer you solace and support

I'll take your part
I'll stand up for you and defend you when others won't

When darkness comes
When life becomes bleak and difficult to bear

And pain is all around
When you're surrounded by suffering and difficulty

I will ease your mind
I will help to calm you and relieve your worries

Sail on silver girl
Go forth and pursue your dreams with determination and grace

Sail on by
Let nothing hold you back or get in your way

Your time has come to shine
The time has come for you to achieve your goals and shine

All your dreams are on their way
Your dreams are on their way and will soon be realized

See how they shine
Your dreams are shining bright and full of promise

Oh, if you need a friend
If you ever need someone to talk to or rely on

I'm sailing right behind
I'm always here for you and will follow you wherever you go
