SOS Signals by Eli Oko

I think I’m okay.

When I feel to give up

I don’t give in to the pain

It carries me through

Knowing you feel the same

I remember 3 things

I feel guided again.

1. I’m not alone

Despite lonely I seem

When I’m lost in thought

It’s you that I see

You randomly appear,

As a reminder to keep

You don’t need to be here to be nearest to me.

2. I’m stronger than my weakness likes to admit

I will not be dragged down, I’m too stubborn to quit

I care for the reward

Whether small, whether big

I care for the hope

Even if that’s all that it is.

3. I have so much more to do

I have things yet to accomplish

And so much more to prove

I have a lifetime to gain

So I temporarily lose

I have you to update

So I must keep up with the news.

When I feel to give up

And I begin to give in

I suddenly see sparks

And nothing seems so dim

I Suddenly have strength in my arms

Releasing the tension, these things I hold in

Underwater surviving

But soon I will swim.

SOS signals to those I love and trust to tell

SOS Signals

I need help. I need help.

Trying to be better in mind and in heart.

So eventually I can say I did, although feeling I can’t.

I remember the first thought I had about you

“This person is special.” That feeling was new

And I remember the last thought I had as we said our farewells

“This person is special.” But I fear you can’t tell.

See when I feel to give up

As you begin to give in,

I suddenly see sparks

And nothing seems so dim.

Strength in our arms

We’re in this race to win

Underwater surviving

But soon we will swim.

SOS signals to those we love and trust to tell

SOS Signals

We need help. We need help.

SOS signals to the one we love and trust to tell

SOS Signals

He will help. He will help.

I feel guided again

I remember 3 things

Knowing you feel the same

It carries me through

I don’t give in to the pain

When I feel to give up

I just think… “I’m okay”.
