Hello earth children
This is your daddy calling here
You ain't been listening so I
Thought I'd make myself more clear
It's been a long time since I
Left you In this home - for you to care
Now I see you're weary
I still need your help down there

Lifesaver
Lifesaver
Please don't surrender
Cause I'm just holding on to you
Just holding on to you

Hello earth children
This is your mama calling here
You ain't been listening so I
LyricsThought I'd make myself more clear
Its been a long hard road
That Babylon beat you down with despair
Now I see you're tired
I still need your help down there

Lifesavers
Lifesavers
Please don't surrender
Cause I'm just holding on to you
Just holding on to you

I sing,
Throw me a line
Throw me a line
Throw me a line
Throw me a line

Hello mum and dad
This is your children calling you
We ain't been listening - no
Every word you say is true
Its such a lonely world
That leaves us so so helpless to survive
Is it worth fighting for?
So help me, I mightjoin the other side
Lifesaver
Lifesaver
Please don't surrender
Cause I'm just holding on to you
Just holding on to you
