Lyrics
Find another songEver felt like you're going nowhere and you need a little help
I felt the same way in my life
That's when your friends improve the hand you're dealt
Now if we extend the situation to a broad one instead of the self
How can we not extend a hand into the perilous waters of hell?
Throw your arms around me before the waves all swallow me
I cannot breathe
Put your arms around me, I've come too far and the ocean's deep
Where's your empathy?
Now I'm no expert but a cursory reading of the facts
Say you reap what you sow
And the expert colonizes we begin
Caused enough hurt to eat up the soul
And if we're proud of the things we have
Shouldn't others want share as well?
Now the regimes that we propped up
Have descended into a living hell
Throw your arms around me before the waves all swallow me
I cannot breathe
Put your arms around me, I've come too far and the ocean's deep
Show some empathy
It's a risk just to exist
As we emerge into the light
It's a risk just to exist
I'm so glad to be alive
The talkshows talk and nothing gets done
Who wants to be responsible for Europe's biggest son?
Show some responsibility
Show some responsibility
Throw your arms around me before the waves all swallow me
I cannot breathe
Put your arms around me, I've come too far and the ocean's deep
Show some empathy
It's a risk just to exist
As we emerge into the light
It's a risk just to exist
I'm so glad to be alive
Oh, it's a risk just to exist
As we emerge into the light
Oh, it's a risk just to exist
I'm so glad to be alive
