There must be a forecast 
That you won't let yourself see 
So you keep watching as you're driftin' 
Sail away from what you need 

Why don't I just give you 
Everything you'll take from me 
'cause nobody owns anything 
If everyone is free 
Thats why 

This ship is goin' down 
Desperately I need a sound 
song to sing so we could carry on 
Just let it be sung so we could carry on 

God fearing people at the bottom of the sea 
Walkin' without lanterns let a stone skip over thee 
Hi ho we're weightless in the sea 
Hi ho be gone and lets just dance 
Waltz above the ocean 

This ship is goin' down 
Desperately I need a sound 
song to sing so we could carry on 
Just let it be sung so we might carry on 
Let it be sung so we 
Let it be sung so we could carry on 

I've heard all of the stories 
And in them I've put my [bad word] 
You gotta touch the bottom before you [bad word] back up 
And I know what you'r heart is telling you 
'cause my hearts telling me the same thing too 

That This ship is goin' down 
Desperately I need a sound 
song to sing so we could carry on 
Just let it be sung so we might carry on 
Let it be sung so we 
Let it be sung so we could carry on
