Ever 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
