VERSE 1:
the moon was full and staring, the stars were crystal clear.
i laid asleep deep dreaming, all reality had disappeared.
i walked out on the front porch, still so unaware,
that a worn out old woman sat there, in a rockin’ chair.
she said, “son, i’ve gotta tell you this, my health isn’t good”,
and she gave me a kiss, and she laughed, then choked and began to cry.
she screamed, “i don’t wanna die!”

CHORUS:
“save me, you can make it better,
just try a little harder as you go through life’s plans.
save me, can’t hold on forever,
it’s all up to you, it’s in your hands!
save me, we’re in this together,
i’ve gotten so bad, i don’t know what to do.
save me, no need to be clever to know,
if i go, surely you will too!”

VERSE 2:
well i felt a little dizzy, and a little worrisome.
so i asked her who she was, how, and where she had come from.
she turned and stared right into my face.
“if you don’t know me, then my, my what a waste!”
she pointed ‘cross the tops of the trees, “i am the land, the water, the bees.”
“i am you and i am the world! and i don’t wanna die!”

(REPEAT CHORUS)

BRIDGE:
well i woke up and ran into the wilderness,
shouting out loud and making promises.
then i realized just how much a part of this earth i really am.
and i don’t wanna die! i don’t wanna die!

MODIFIED END CHORUS:
save me! we can make it better
just try a little harder as you go through life’s plans!
save me, can’t hold on forever,
it’s all up to us, it’s in our hands!
save me, we’re in this together,
we’ve gotten so bad, we don’t know what to do.
save me, no need to be clever to know,
if i go, surely you will too!”

ENDING:
the moon is full and staring…
