Hello, are you still there?
Can you hear me?
If you can, say something
Over the air – I am here
And if you let me I will listen
To fears you can’t speak

You’re sinking, you’re sinking
And I’m reaching, I’m reaching
And I can’t make you reach back
I can’t make you reach back
But you’re fading
You’re fading
And I’m waiting, still waiting
For you to reach back
Reach out for my hand
I will lift you up
Into arms of love

The more you try and fight
The more the tide
Will suck you under
Lay still, look toward the sky
And you will rise and float
The waves lose their power
When you give up control

Reach out for my hand
I will lift you up
Into arms of love
When you’re ready to
I’ll be here for you
In the darkest hour
With your last breath, call out
I will lift you up
Into arms of love
