Lyrics by Samu Haber, Jukka Immonen, Sharon Vaughn, Teemu Brunila and Music by Samu Haber, Jukka Immonen, Jakke Erixson, Karl-Ola Kjellholm, John Hårleman, Pontus Karlsson

I’m fighting too hard to win
Back on the ground again,
I feel like giving in
But you’re my second wind.

   Don’t you ever tire
   Facing all my fires,
   I don’t need no one,
   But you right now.
   So, I say,

Chorus:
     Oh, my friend,
     You’re holding out your hand,
     I take it like an oar
     From the depths.
     Hey, lifesaver,
     I’m drowning in despair,
     But you’re fighting for me
     Right until the end.
     You pull me back to land
     And save me once again.

You help me wash away
The insane mistakes I’ve made.
And I see it in your face,
My only source of grace.

   No, I don’t take for granted,
   All the time you’ve wasted
   Making sacrifices for a fool.
   So, I say,

Chorus:
     Oh, my friend,
     You’re holding out your hand,
     I take it like an oar
     From the depths.
     Hey, lifesaver,
     I’m drowning in despair,
     But you’re fighting for me
     Right until the end.
     You pull me back to land
     And save me once again.

You lift me higher,
You hold the fire,
You make me strong enough to stand.

You lift me higher,
You hold the fire,
I may not stand tall,
But without you I’d fall.

Chorus:
     Oh, my friend,
     You’re holding out your hand,
     I take it like an oar
     From the depths.
     Hey, lifesaver,
     I’m drowning in despair,
     But you’re fighting for me
     Right until the end.
     You pull me back to land
     And save me once again.

You lift me higher,
You hold the fire,
You make me strong enough to stand.
