“I Am with You” is described by Patty Gurdy as “a collab dream come true” with Finnish heavy metal vocalist Marko Hietala.
According to Gurdy, it’s “an epic sailor ballad with folk rock influences, sung in three languages.”
[Verse 1: Patty Gurdy]
So many times you have pushed yourself
Never to fall too deep
The stones on the ground show an empty face
Their usual gathering
[Pre-Chorus: Patty Gurdy]
You hear a voice in the distance, four sweet little words
And a perfect echoing
It says: I am with you
[Chorus: Patty Gurdy]
I am with you in pain and in victory
Please know for sure that you're not alone
I am with you, your dearest polarity
Waiting ashore forever more
[Verse 2: Marko Hietala]
The winds will be crude when they hit my face
I look them in the eye
Courageous and proud like my figurehead
When the waves are high
[Pre-Chorus: Marko Hietala]
I remember the voice in the distance sing
Like a perfect echoing
[Chorus: Patty Gurdy & Marko Hietala]
I am with you in pain and in victory
Please know for sure that you're not alone
I am with you, your dearest polarity
Waiting ashore forever more
[Instrumental Break]
[Bridge: Patty Gurdy]
You hear a voice sing four sweet words
A perfect echo evermore
[Patty Gurdy, Marko Hietala]
Ich bin bei dir
En lähde mä pois
Bitte glaub' mir
Jotta yksin et ois
[Chorus: Patty Gurdy & Marko Hietala, Patty Gurdy, Marko Hietala]
I am with you in pain and in victory
Please know for sure that you're not alone
I am with you (I'm with you), your dearest polarity
Waiting ashore (waiting ashore) forever more
[Outro: Marko Hietala, Patty Gurdy]
Waiting ashore, forevermore
