about

Sometimes people are doing it tough and find it hard to let anyone else know. I think we need to look out for each other. Maybe just being there for someone. Being that one that a person can feel comfortable with and maybe starting to feel better and more positive. So, I'd say the message of this song is just to be there for each other.

lyrics

Lifeline
(Bruce Pumpa)

I’ve always had a sunny disposition
So it’s hard to know how one gets here
It isn’t really funny this position
Full of trepidation and fear
I never have been in this situation
Though I’ve been in fairly dire straits
I’m not sure how to deal with the frustration
Only know I shouldn’t sit and wait

Lifeline. Just do something
Lifeline. To show how much you care
Lifeline. If you do the one thing
Lifeline. Just be sure you’re there

Won’t somebody throw out a lifeline
Won’t you please just hold out your hand
It’s not going quite like the plan is
When a soul just can’t understand
If you please just send one a lifeline
It will help to halt one’s decline
If you’ll only send out a lifeline
Think that things might just work out fine

Lifeline. Just do something
Lifeline. To show how much you care
Lifeline. If you do the one thing
Lifeline. Just be sure you’re there

Everybody sometimes needs a lifeline
Everybody sometimes needs a hand
Sometimes need a shoulder to be cried on
Sometimes need someone who’ll understand
Won’t you please just send one a lifeline
Won’t you please just hold out your hand
Won’t you be a shoulder one can cry on
Won’t you be someone who understands

Lifeline. Just do something
Lifeline. To show how much you care
Lifeline. If you do the one thing
Lifeline. Just be sure you’re there

Lifeline. Just do something
Lifeline. To show how much you care
Lifeline. If you do the one thing
Lifeline. Just be sure you’re there

Lifeline. Just do something
Lifeline. To show how much you care
Lifeline. If you do the one thing
Lifeline. Just be sure you’re there

Lifeline
