The Sea

[Hook: Ms Adams] Oh, I’ll survive the Sea Keep my head above the water Win that fight inside of me I’ll put my faith into the tide say Carry me O carry me Safely to the other side so I can speak To tell ‘em I survived the Sea [Verse 1: Sway] Thank you for coming I’m glad you’re all here I’ve got a story to share with you Can you lend me your ears It’s been about 4 years since he got the all clear They say that episode’s over still ain't concluded all fears It was in ’08 that’s really when he got ill The Dr said it was mainly stress, he lost some friends he lost Del They’re giving him meds, he’s on pills, said take a rest go on chill That was until 2010 that’s really when it got real Something popped up on his neck, go on feel, its hard as rock It’s unusual and usually he would have brushed it off and thought nothing of it But right after Derek and Puff, it’s best to check its nothing If there’s nothing there there’s nothing lost right? Had a little op a week later, its nothing rushed its just a biopsy Probably won’t see nothing much Then a message from his doc had him back in to discuss what was happening But what he had to tell him had him crushed And now he’s on the ward politicking, with a wise older fella Told him boy the clock is ticking We don’t know what’s gonna happen but right now We’re winning ‘cause we’re here Start swimming He wanted to keep it a secret ‘Cause people assume the worst ‘till they research He can’t believe he’s going through this Before he’s even thirty The nurses where optimistic Said, I’m glad you caught it early You could beat this, its time for treatment Begin the journey now swim [Hook: Jamie Grey] Oh, I’ll survive the Sea Keep my head above the water Win that fight inside of me I’ll put my faith into the tide say Carry me O carry me Safely to the other side so I can speak To tell ‘em I survived the Sea [Verse 2: Sway] He feels his loved ones praying for his survival, now Reading from the Quran, the Torah or the Bible This how he’s gonna be feeling after every single cycle? Head spinning and now he had to cut his hair because it might fall out His girl said he looked well The world just couldn’t tell Outside its looking like heaven Inside its feeling like hell Just trying to find him a boat Stay a float and set sail And he got his strength from the Ocean, that’s how he took it so well And he had to open the net, to capture hope and success But most who wrote about it weren’t those who where coping the best See people get diagnosed; asked a couple of questions and those who overcome it Just want to let go and forget (We get it) He remembers sitting on the ward politicking, with a wise older fella Told him boy the clock is ticking We don’t know what’s gonna happen but right now We’re winning ‘cause we’re here Keep swimming He’s back up in the machine like a submarine Trying to make it to the surface We he got those results man, he was clutching on ‘em nervous Didn’t even wanna read ‘em he just wanted to listen They said, well done, you’re now in remission, God bless ‘em now, Swim [Hook: Jamie Grey & Choir] Oh, I’ll survive the Sea Keep my head above the water Win that fight inside of me I’ll put my faith into the tide say Carry me O carry me Safely to the other side so I can speak To tell ‘em I survived the Sea Oh, I’ll survive the Sea Keep my head above the water Win that fight inside of me I’ll put my faith into the tide say Carry me O carry me Safely to the other side so I can speak To tell ‘em I survived the Sea
