From the recording These First Steps
Lyrics
They say it happens so fast
In the blink of an eye, no turning back
With screeching tyres and a sudden loss of breath
Caught in the crossfire of a man drinking himself to death
She can’t fight the fight no more
Prayers to hold on through the storm
Crash, clear, she’s dying, there’s one more chance to get her heartbeat moving
Each second passing by, running out of time
Doors slamming, Mamma’s crying, Daddy’s face is mad as hell
Holding onto that cross real tight
As they bring her back to life
Red and blue lights flash through the night
Policeman said he ran a red light
Sirens as they pulled up
The doctor that this is fatal
But she’ll still fight against all odds
Mamma prays to bring her home
Crash, clear, she’s dying, there’s one more chance to get her heartbeat moving
Each second passing by, running out of time
Doors slamming, Mamma’s crying, Daddy’s face is mad as hell
Holding onto that cross real tight
Please dear God, save our baby
Help her fight, make this right
Bring he home, bring her safe
Dear God, this ain’t fair
Crash, clear, she’s dying, there’s one more chance to get her heartbeat moving
As seconds pass her by, as they run out of time
Crash, clear, she’s dying, there’s one last chance to get her heartbeat moving
The seconds pass her by, as she runs out of time
Doors slamming, Mamma’s crying, Daddy’s face is mad as hell
Holding onto that cross real tight
As they bring her back to life
Oh Oh
As they bring her back to life
Oh Oh Oh
As they brought her back to life
