I feel like I am drowning
But luckily there was someone there to save me
Next time I won’t be so lucky
The waves will keep pounding me
Pounding me
Pounding me
Until I get out of the water
Getting out will save me
It will save me from the waves
It will save my life
It will keep me from going under
Going under for good
Getting out will help others to learn
Learn why the waves should not be pounding
Pounding on you, me, EVERYONE
Getting out will save my life
Will it save yours?
