Life Preserver

This ship that I 
have built with my 
own two hands
Will take me to 
find you 
and deliver us to land
I will follow the stars 
to know where you are, 
I will call out your name
I will weather these storms
to take you home, 
I am dying of your pain

Wherever you are, I hope you hear me
Wherever you are, I want you near me
I’m sending you a life preserver
Put it on, kid… you deserve it

We know you are here, 
please don’t disappear, 
we all need you back
We don’t want you to be 
lost at sea, 
your fingers painted black
We can keep you safe 
and free from hate, 
we can’t protect you from yourself
Your choices are yours, 
you’ve heard it before, 
you need to love yourself

Wherever you are, I hope you hear me
Wherever you are, I want you near me
I’m sending you a life preserver
Put it on, kid… you deserve it

I’ll protect you from harm 
when you’re in my arms, 
There's no need to be afraid
It’s not too late 
to save your fate 
from the choices that you’ve made
You can sink or swim 
and start again, 
we can do it all together
Take my hand 
and understand 
you don’t fuck around with forever

Wherever you are, I hope you’ll hear me
Wherever you are, you’re always near me
Take this life preserver
Put it on, kid… you deserve it
