SOS Lyrics by Jonathan Larson

The Jonathan Larson Project

2019

This may be my final message
This may be the final bow
I'm sure I don't know what will happen
Does it matter anyhow?

I hear footsteps down the hall
Don't know how much they're loud
If you're waiting for the last wheel
I think the time is now

SOS, oh savior
SOS, oh hero
SOS, Messiah
Yes, oh yes, oh

SOS, oh Jesus
SOS, oh Buddha
SOS, Immanuel
Yes, oh yes, oh

This may be my final hour
This may be the dying day
And though they never taught me why in school
I think I'm learning how to pray

They're right outside the door
Don't know why they keep on stalling, stalling
I know you heard this all before
But it's the last time that I'm calling, calling

SOS, oh savior
SOS, oh hero
SOS, almighty
Yes, oh yes, oh

SOS, oh Jahve
SOS, oh my Jesùs
SOS, oh Allah
Yes, oh yes, oh

Is anybody here?
Show me before it's too late
Does anybody care?
Is this meant to be mankind's fate?
Does anybody hear?
Answer me now if you do
Is anybody there?
I need you

SOS, oh savior
SOS, oh hero
SOS, oh Messiah
Yes, oh yes, oh

SOS, oh Jesus
SOS, oh Buddha
SOS, Immanuel
Yes, oh yes, oh

I hear footsteps down the hall
They're right outside the door
This may be the curtain call
I know you heard this all before

Does it matter anymore?
It does in 1984
I'm right in 1984
I asked, “why?”
That’s what I say
Make a try
It's only a play
