Save Yourself
Johnson Greg Lyrics

I'm a great explorer, I've been exploring your mind
I have been trying to learn about your thoughts and feelings.

I found giant rivers, mountain ranges never climbed
I have discovered parts of your mind that have never been explored by anyone else.

I'm a great explorer, but now I'm lost inside your head
While trying to learn more about you, I have become confused and uncertain.

I don't have directions just a heavy load instead
I don't know where to go or what to do next, but I am carrying the burden of this confusion.

You said you'd save me if I ever got lost
You promised to help me if I ever became overwhelmed or confused.

I said well baby, first you save yourself
I reminded you that it is important to take care of yourself first, before helping others.

Then you save the world
Once you are strong and grounded, you can help others and make the world a better place.

But first you save yourself
Tending to your own needs must always come first.

I'm a great believer in believing in you
I have faith in your ability to overcome challenges and achieve great things.

But I don't have a compass, no plans for pushing through
I am not sure how to help you or guide you through difficult times.

I guess I'm pinned down, bad weather's on the way
I feel trapped and helpless, and anticipate that things will get worse.

I need your shelter now but first you save yourself
I am asking for your help, but also reminding you that you must prioritize your own well-being.

You're such a brilliant pearl living in an unforgiving world
You are a unique and valuable person, but the world can be harsh and difficult to navigate.

And it doesn't help us very much if you throw the line to someone else
It is important for you to take ownership of your own problems, rather than hoping someone else will solve them for you.

Then you save the world but first you save yourself
Make sure you are strong and resilient before trying to make a difference in the world.
