Just a castaway on an island lost at sea-o
Another lonely day, no one here but me-o
More loneliness than any man could bear
Rescue me before I fall, fall into despair-o

I'll send an SOS to the world
I'll send an SOS to the world
I hope that someone gets my
I hope that someone gets my
I hope that someone gets my

A year has passed since I wrote my note
But I should have known this right from the start
Only hope can keep me together
Love can mend a life but love can break your heart-o

I'll send an SOS to the world
I'll send an SOS to the world
I hope that someone gets my
I hope that someone gets my
I hope that someone gets my

Message in a bottle
My message, my message
Message in a bottle
My, my, my, my Lord

Woke up this morning, I don't believe what I saw
A hundred million bottles washed up on the shore
Seems like I'm not alone in being alone
A hundred million castaways looking for a home

I'll send an SOS to the world
I'll send an SOS to the world
I hope that someone gets my
I hope that someone gets my
I hope that someone gets my

Message in a bottle
Sending out an SOS
Message in a bottle
Sending out, sending out, sending out
Sending out an SOS
Sending out an SOS

Preaching to the world, my Lord
Preaching to the world
My message, my message

Sending out an SOS
Sending out an SOS
Sending out an SOS

My Lord, my Lord
