I'm sure that you remember him He used to come around here a lot He never wanted much attention But he could hear the things we taught He's got a lot of trouble at home And I've been trying to give him a hand And lately he's been slipping deeper And I don't know how long he'll stand Somebody help me There's a man overboard Sinking in the turning tide There's a man overboard And I don't know what sent him over the side But there isn't much time I know it's easy to shake your head Say, "too bad" and walk away I've done it far too many times myself When I couldn't find a thing to say But this is my brother, this is my friend I love him more than I can tell And I can't bail him out all by myself and I won't watch him go to hell Somebody help me Why are we here? Why do we live? How can we take More than we give?
