Save Yourself
Greg Johnson Lyrics

I'm a great explorer, I've been exploring your mind
I have been taking the time to understand you and the inner workings of your thoughts and emotions.

I found giant rivers, mountain ranges never climbed
Through my exploration, I have discovered parts of you that are vast and unknown to others.

I'm a great explorer, but now I'm lost inside your head
Despite my previous success in understanding you, I now feel overwhelmed and uncertain in the complexity of your mind.

I don't have directions just a heavy load instead
I am burdened by the weight of my thoughts and feelings, and lack a clear path to navigate through them.

You said you'd save me if I ever got lost
You promised to offer guidance and support if ever I found myself lost or struggling.

I said well baby,
In response to your promise, I spoke candidly about my needs and concerns.

First you save yourself
Before helping others, you must prioritize your own wellbeing and work towards self-preservation.

Then you save the world
Once you are in a stable and healthy state, you can better contribute to making positive change in the world around you.

But first you save yourself
It is essential to prioritize self-care and self-improvement before taking on the task of helping others.

I'm a great believer in believing in you
I hold a strong faith in your abilities and potential.

But I don't have a compass, No plans for pushing through
Despite my belief in you, I am at a loss for how to navigate our current situation or help you overcome your obstacles.

I guess I'm pinned down, bad weather's on the way
I feel trapped and helpless, with impending challenges and hardships on the horizon.

I need your shelter now but
I am looking to you for support and guidance in this difficult time, but something is preventing me from reaching out completely.

You're such a brilliant pearl, Living in an unforgiving world
You possess great intellectual and emotional prowess, but you must operate in a harsh and unrelenting world.

And it doesn't help us very much, If you throw the line to someone else
We cannot rely solely on others to solve our issues or provide us with support - ultimately, we must be responsible for taking control of our lives.

First you save yourself
It is essential to prioritize self-care and self-improvement before taking on the task of helping others.

Then you save the world but first you save yourself
We must prioritize our own mental and emotional health and wellbeing before taking on the task of creating positive change in the world around us.
