TO SAVE A MAN

There’s a man overboard turn-a-round and pick him up
He was thrown overboard during a stick-em-up

I don’t care leave him there
I don’t care leave him there

He was good man so you say
He was good man every day
He was good man most would say
For this good man we will pray

I grabbed the wheel of the tiny ship
The captain swung at me and started to flip

I don’t care leave him there
I don’t care leave him there

I’ve had all that I can take
The captain’s words were a mistake
I’m against hurting each other
In this world we should love one another

I’m sick of the selfish things people do
Self absorbed in their on little world while you
May be waiting to drown and die but not I
I’m going to take stand and do what I can
To save a man

I’m taking control of the vessel
I got to do my part I’ll even wrestle

I don’t we care leave him there
I don’t we care leave him there

Shit like this happens every single day
If you ignore it it won’t go away
You gotta do what you can
Take the time to save another man

To save a man

There’s a man overboard turn-a-round and pick him up
He was thrown overboard during a stick-em-up

I don’t care leave him there
I do care we can’t leave him there

Shit like this happens every single day
If you ignore it it won’t go away
You got to do what you can
Take the time to save another man

To save a man
