Verse 1

Throw out the lifeline across the dark wave — there is a brother whom someone should save;
somebody's brother! O who then will dare to throw out the lifeline, his peril to share?

Chorus

Throw out the lifeline! Throw out the lifeline!
Someone is drifting away;
throw out the lifeline! Throw out the lifeline!
Someone is sinking today.
