Lyrics The Sea - Sway, Jamie Grey, Ms Adams

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
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
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
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
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
