If I needed someone
Would you be my redemption?
If I needed 100% and nothing
less
Would you offer the best of yourself;
Spooling till there’s nothing
left to give?
And would you not do it free
and easy
Would
you bleed when we bleed to death?
Would
you freeze the Atlantic to erase the threat?
Before
terror brings a nation of millions to her knees?
Won’t
you help us?
While
there’s still an “us” breathing oxygen?
Won’t
you help us?
If I came crashing down,
Would you catch me before I hit
the ground?
If I called to you on a
clarion,
Would the answer in the wind convey
the nostrum?
Would you walk with me thro a
landmine?
Can I trust you with my heart
in my darkest night?
Won’t
you help us?
Won’t
you help us?
Won’t
you help us?
Won’t
you help us?
