Lyrics

0:13Ever felt like you're going nowhere and you need a little help
0:19I felt the same way in my life
0:21That's when your friends improve the hand you're dealt
0:25Now if we extend the situation
0:27To a broad one instead of the self
0:31How can we not extend a hand into the perilous waters of hell
0:38Throw your arms around me
0:41Before the waves all swallow me
0:45I cannot breathe
0:51Put your arms around me
0:53I've come too far and the ocean's deep
0:58Where's your empathy
1:15Now I'm no expert but a cursory reading of the facts
1:18Say you reap what you sow
1:21And the expert colonises we begin caused enough hurt to eat up the soul
1:27And if we're proud of the things
1:29We have shouldn't others want to share as well
1:34Now the regimes that we propped up have descended into a living hell
1:40Throw your arms around me
1:43Before the waves all swallow me
1:48I cannot breathe
1:53Put your arms around me
1:56I've come too far and the ocean's deep
2:00Show some empathy
2:04It's a risk just to exist
2:07As we immerge in to the light
2:10It's a risk just to exist
2:13I'm so glad to be alive
2:29The talk shows talk
2:31And nothing gets done
2:32Who wants to be responsible for Europe's biggest son
2:35Show some responsibility
2:38Show some responsibility
2:43Throw your arms around me
2:45Before the waves all swallow me
2:50I cannot breathe
2:55Put your arms around me
2:58I've come too far and the ocean's deep
3:02Show some empathy
3:06It's a risk just to exist
3:09As we immerge in to the light
3:12It's a risk just to exist
3:15I'm so glad to be alive
3:18Oh it's a risk just to exist
3:21As we immerge in to the light
3:24Oh it's a risk just to exist
3:27I'm so glad to be alive
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 colonises we begin caused enough hurt to eat up the soul
And if we're proud of the things
We have shouldn't others want to 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 immerge in to the light
It's a risk just to exist
I'm so glad to be alive
The talk shows 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 immerge in to 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 immerge in to the light
Oh it's a risk just to exist
I'm so glad to be alive
