Ik Zal Er Zijn

Esther Tims' song 'Ik Zal Er Zijn' is a heartfelt ode to unwavering support and friendship. The lyrics convey a message of steadfast presence and reliability, promising to be there for someone in their darkest and loneliest moments.

The chorus reinforces this message of support, likening the singer to a friend who will carry the listener through all their days and a star that will shine in the darkest nights.
