Sometimes life feels like an ocean Cruel and far too cold to mention Though you raise a great commotion Still noone pays you attention Theres no sail on the horizon When the shark fins gather near You watch your chances of surviving Scuppered, sink, then disappear All I need, all you need, all we need, is something to cling to Watch your chances disappear when the shark fins gather near All I need, all you need, all we need, is something to cling to As your fairweatherfriends stand waving From the comfort of their yacht Its strange how when you needed saving They conveniently forgot The countless times youve stopped them sinking Fought to keep their lives afloat And hauled them upwards without thinking To the safety of your boat AIl I need, all you need, all we need, is something to cling to Fight to keep your life afloat far from the safety of your boat All I need, all you need, all we need, is something to cling to So tired and numb, your limbs now weaken And you slowly start to wonder Should I not admit Im beaten Let these waters drag me under? Feel a peace and calm descending Ceasing fears and cares and crying Knowing that your life is ending Reconcile yourself to dying Then as if from out of nowhere And just when you least expected Floats a single piece of driftwood By some unseen force directed Its a gift life often brings you When you thought all hope long gone Sometimes a single dream to cling to Gives you strength to carry on It seems the wisest words that I know Three which some dead scholar wrote Are simply these Dum spiro spero Meaning while I breathe I hope All I need, all you need, all we need, is something to cling to The wisest words man ever wrote are simply while I breathe I hope All i need, all you need, all we need, is something to cling to Something to cling to
