And another one written and recorded by Alex Rossitto and me. This was written specifically for a video produced by a church I attended when I lived in Ohio. It is not intended for radio or an album. Hope you enjoy.
Two ships are passing on the water
One ship is sinking the other just sails by
And while the hopeless souls are drowning
The other's passengers just man the rails and cry
What would you do? What would you say?
What would you do? Would you man the rail and pray?
Or would you dive into the ocen
'cause you know you could be somebody's last life line
So would you dive into the ocean?
Would you reach out and reach others while there's time?
In town a family's home is burning
Passersby just stop to look and stare
Through the flames they hear their voices calling
But only foolish men would step one foot in there.
What would you do? What would you say?
What would you do? Would you simply stop and pray?
Or would you dive into the fire?
'Cause you know you could be somebody's last life line
So would you dive into the fire?
Would you reach out and reach others while there's time?
I know you're afraid, but I command those winds and waves
and I've promised you that I'll be by your side
And I know you may fail, but you don't have to fear.
Just hold to their hands like you're holding mine.
And go and dive into the ocean,
'cause you know you could be somebody's last life line.
So go and dive into the ocean.
Go reach out and reach others
Go reach out and reach others
Child, reach out and reach others while there's time
Two ships are passing on the water.
One ship is sinking, the other just sails by
