Song DescriptionLife-affirming song, dedicated to someone special. Builds slowly to a rousing final chorus and long fadeout. About falling for someone, caring for and supporting a friend or lover. From Worldview's "Schoolboy Errors" album. Written, performed and recorded by Oliver Shaw.
Lyrics
When you see a soul in distress
You won't always walk on by
No when you see a soul in distress
You won't always walk on by
This world has made you wise
And courage made you colder
But that's no victory
It's more of a surrender
When I saw a soul in distress
I would always walk on by
Armoured in my own business
Barely offering a sigh
But I've found an exception
I've found an exception to the rule
Yeah I've made an exception
I've made an exception out of you
She wears a thinner skin than the rest
And in this she has been blessed
To never give as good as she gets
But give more than she expects
I've found an exception
I've found an exception to the rule
Yeah I've made an exception
I've made an exception out of you
If you call out in despair
Well then I'll probably be there
It's a sort of guarantee
And no one's more surprised than me
When you see a soul in distress
You may recover your emotions
Finding that for once you're prepared
To pour your drop into the ocean
To increase by one the sum of happiness
And relieve the throb of someone's loneliness
I've found an exception
I've found an exception to the rule
Yeah I've made an exception
I've made an exception out of you
I've made an exception
I've made an exception for the truth
If you call out in despair
Well then I'll probably be there
It's a sort of guarantee
And no one's more surprised than me
