It's basically a love song, and it is filled with similes and metaphors, as well as influences from Gospel Music. The singer says he will be "like a bridge over troubled waters" when the woman he loves is afraid or needs reassurance. He compares himself to a bridge because he wants to be the one she relies on during times of trouble, and he says in this simile that he will lay himself down so that she can walk across to safety; he compares whatever is worrying her to "troubled waters" (as in, the storms of life) and says his love will lead her from sadness to happiness, from fear to comfort.
