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
