Analysis of Toss The Rope
Right now let's seize the moment. Right now let's win the day.
Give us presence of mind,
someone divulge the way.
It may seem providential. It may seem opportune.
Grant us a lucky-break,
someone provide the boon.
We all need second chances. We all need revived hope.
Before we go under
someone must toss the rope.
