Merle Haggard's song "Turn To Me" is a gentle invitation to find comfort and support in a trusted friend during difficult times. The lyrics speak to moments when the world feels hostile, questions remain unanswered, and walls seem to close in. The singer reassures the listener of his constant presence and unwavering friendship, offering himself as a reliable refuge. While the song does not explicitly mention God or faith, its themes of steadfast love, guidance, and deliverance resonate with Christian ideas of turning to God in times of trouble. The message is simple and heartfelt, emphasizing loyalty and the promise of freedom from life's pressures.
Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
When the whole world turns against you
And life won't let you be
When you need someone to turn to
Turn to me.
When questions go unanxswered
And you wonder what will be
When you need someone to turn to
Turn to me.
I stand on every corner
I'm just around the bend
I've always been here for you
I've always been your friend.
When walls close in around you
I'm the one who sets you free
When you need someone to turn to
Turn to me.
I stand on every corner
I'm just around the bend
I've always been here for you
I've always been your friend.
When walls close in around you
I'm the one who sets you free
When you need someone to turn to
Turn to me, turn to me...
