OH!
Sea of Hurt
I feel the waves of pain
And now the tides
Coming in again
I'm caught in vicious cycle of despair
Give me the courage to face another day
OH!
o, sing a song of joy
Sweet childhood
Never desert me
Time for celebration
OH!
Overcome with a sense of elation
I'll never let you get to me
Survival is my victory
Time for celebration
OH!
Overcome with a sense of elation
I sat in silence
I was mourning
Said sorry
A thousand times
I cried aloud to God
For all my failings
But God seemed deaf as well as blind
o, sing a song of joy
Sweet childhood
Never desert me
Time for celebration
OH!
Overcome with a sense of elation
I'll never let you get to me
Survival is my victory
Time for celebration
OH!
Overcome with a sense of elation
we drank and smoked and talked until the dawn
Shared our problems and our food
Telling tales of courage and resolution
Through all the hardships we've endured
OH!
o, sing a song of joy
Sweet childhood
Never desert me
Time for celebration
OH!
Overcome with a sense of elation
I'll never let you get to me
Survival is my victory
Time for celebration
OH!
Overcome with a sense of elation
Sea of Hurt
I feel the waves of pain
And now the tides
Coming in again
I'm caught in vicious cycle of despair
Give me the courage to face another day
OH!
o, sing a song of joy
Sweet childhood
Never desert me
Time for celebration
OH!
Overcome with a sense of elation
I'll never let you get to me
Survival is my victory
Time for celebration
OH!
Overcome with a sense of elation
I sat in silence
I was mourning
Said sorry
A thousand times
I cried aloud to God
For all my failings
But God seemed deaf as well as blind
o, sing a song of joy
Sweet childhood
Never desert me
Time for celebration
OH!
Overcome with a sense of elation
I'll never let you get to me
Survival is my victory
Time for celebration
OH!
Overcome with a sense of elation
we drank and smoked and talked until the dawn
Shared our problems and our food
Telling tales of courage and resolution
Through all the hardships we've endured
OH!
o, sing a song of joy
Sweet childhood
Never desert me
Time for celebration
OH!
Overcome with a sense of elation
I'll never let you get to me
Survival is my victory
Time for celebration
OH!
Overcome with a sense of elation
