I’ve been there a thousand times
Felt the rain like a thousand knives and it hurts
I know it hurts
I’ve been there like a fighter plane
Trying to fly my way through a hurricane and it’s hard
I know it’s hard
Don’t be afraid
You’ll make it through
Just call out to me
And I’ll come running to you
Hold on
Hold on
When the current pulls you under
And your heart beats like thunder
Just give me your hand
Hold on
Hold on
Until the storm is over
And I’ll be fighting for you
Just give me your hand
And hold on
I’ll give you hope I’ll give you faith
And if it’s dark I’ll light the way for you
For you
By your side until the end
Until you’re standing tall again
I’m here
I’ll always be here
And if the tide sweeps you out to sea
When your strength is gone and it’s hard to believe
Felt the rain like a thousand knives and it hurts
I know it hurts
Trying to fly my way through a hurricane and it’s hard
I know it’s hard
You’ll make it through
Just call out to me
And I’ll come running to you
Hold on
When the current pulls you under
And your heart beats like thunder
Just give me your hand
Hold on
Until the storm is over
And I’ll be fighting for you
Just give me your hand
And hold on
And if it’s dark I’ll light the way for you
For you
Until you’re standing tall again
I’m here
I’ll always be here
When your strength is gone and it’s hard to believe

To me, this song has a literal meaning and figurative meaning.
The figurative meaning I think, Is about How it's so easy to give up sometimes, but he knows how you feel and wants you to keep holding on, and not get pulled into the "in crowd", but do what's right in your heart. Follow your faith. It also says that he'll be by your side until the end, and never leave you on your own.
Maybe from God, to you. As in no matter what God will be by your side, and he wants you to hold on. He's reaching out his hand to you waiting for you to take hold of it.
And I the literal meaning: I recently had a friend drown, and the story is sort of like this. No need to explain.
