[Hook - Ms Adams:]
Oh, Iâll survive the Sea
Keep my head above the water
Win that fight inside of me
Iâll put my faith into the tide say
Carry me O carry me
Safely to the other side so I can speak
To tell âem I survived the Sea
[Verse 1 - Sway:]
Thank you for coming
Iâm glad youâre all here
Iâve got a story to share with you
Can you lend me your ears
Itâs been about 4 years since he got the all clear
They say that episodeâs over still ain't concluded all fears
It was in â08 thatâs really when he got ill
The Dr said it was mainly stress, he lost some friends he lost Del
Theyâre giving him meds, heâs on pills, said take a rest go on chill
That was until 2010 thatâs really when it got real
Something popped up on his neck, go on feel, its hard as rock
Itâs unusual and usually he would have brushed it off and thought nothing of it
But right after Derek and Puff, itâs best to check its nothing
If thereâs nothing there thereâs nothing lost right?
Had a little op a week later, its nothing rushed its just a biopsy
Probably wonât 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 heâs on the ward politicking, with a wise older fella
Told him boy the clock is ticking
We donât know whatâs gonna happen but right now
Weâre winning âcause weâre here
Start swimming
He wanted to keep it a secret
âCause people assume the worst âtill they research
He canât believe heâs going through this
Before heâs even thirty
The nurses where optimistic
Said, Iâm glad you caught it early
You could beat this, its time for treatment
Begin the journey now swim
[Hook - Jamie Grey:]
Oh, Iâll survive the Sea
Keep my head above the water
Win that fight inside of me
Iâll put my faith into the tide say
Carry me O carry me
Safely to the other side so I can speak
To tell âem 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 heâs 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 couldnât 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, thatâs how he took it so well
And he had to open the net, to capture hope and success
But most who wrote about it werenât 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 donât know whatâs gonna happen but right now
Weâre winning âcause weâre here
Keep swimming
Heâs 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 âem nervous
Didnât even wanna read âem he just wanted to listen
They said, well done, youâre now in remission, God bless âem now, Swim
[Hook - Jamie Grey & Choir:]
Oh, Iâll survive the Sea
Keep my head above the water
Win that fight inside of me
Iâll put my faith into the tide say
Carry me O carry me
Safely to the other side so I can speak
To tell âem I survived the Sea
Oh, Iâll survive the Sea
Keep my head above the water
Win that fight inside of me
Iâll put my faith into the tide say
Carry me O carry me
Safely to the other side so I can speak
To tell âem I survived the Sea
