Who Stays Behind?

«Take me, take me», they yell in despair
The ocean waves will swallow all of us, all hope is lost
Eyes bulging wide at the end of the ropes
And the victims can clearly see someone fall below
Questioning, questioning, can a hero be of help?
I’ll be right here waiting
Mother, young child and an easy way out
Guards making decisions of who stays, who stays behind?
The boy shuts his eyes, tells his mother goodbye
She’s screaming out his name as he slips below
Questioning, questioning, can a hero be of help?
I’ll be right here waiting
Answer me, answer me, every hero’s here to help
I’ll be right here waiting, right here waiting
Take me, take me
The boys shuts his eyes, hugs his mother goodbye
She’s screaming out his name as he slips below
Questioning, questioning, can a hero be of help?
I’ll be right here waiting
Answer me, answer me, every hero’s here to help
I’ll be right here waiting, right here waiting
Right here waiting, I’m right here waiting
I’m right here waiting, I’m right here waiting
