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 message in a bottle
Oh yeah message in a bottle ooh

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
Oh yeah message in a bottle ooh

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
Oh yeah message in a bottle ooh

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

Reaching to the world my Lord
My message my message
Sending out an SOS
Sending out an SOS
Sending out an SOS
