Can you hear me?
–
Listen, I know you’re there but I can’t quite reach you.
I just want to help,
Sometimes you have to let someone in,
Talk to me please
Even for a little while.
Now I’m here, we can talk.
–
Can you understand me?
–
I know there’s still no response, but I’ll keep trying.
Maybe if I shout I’ll get through.
–
Can you listen to me?
–
Here I am, just listen to me please.
Everything will be ok, but we have to work together,
Right now, all that matters is getting you out,
Everything is going to get better.
–
Can you help me?
–
I need you to help me,
This time we need to do it together,
Listen to me,
Let me help you.
–
Can you do this with me?
–
Better the two of us, than one alone.
Even the worst night is better with you.
–
Can you stay with me?
–
Over the last hurdle now, just push that little bit further.
Keep with me now, we need to stick together.
–
Can you hear me, because we made it out, Together.
