Ya Ho

[Verse 1] I nearly died, when you jumped in But you had to drown before you could swim All the people on the beach, they were so impressed That they wanted to join you But no, they wouldn't undress Or let that wetness splash their skin So they pray for a whirlpool to pull you in [Chorus] Ya Ho! Ya Ho! Ya Ho! [Verse 2] So they looked away, and they tried to pretend That it was for you, but no it wasn't for them So the fear of sinking remains in place But it's the fear of failure that's a real disgrace [Chorus] Ya Ho! yo yo, Ya Ho, yo yo Let me be the one, let me be the one Let me be the one, let me be the one To get over your wall To get over your wall [Bridge] Head in the sand, sea out of reach Swept away by the games of the beach Those people sat and watched your stand And the weight of their fears Pulled them underground Will anyone learn from the stories that are told Of the tribe who drowned in the grave of gold [Chorus] Ya Ho, yo yo, Ya Ho, yo yo Let me be the one, let me be the one Let me be the one, let me be the one To take a cool long look with eyes prised wide To face those fears from which I hide Ya Ho, Ya Ho Ya Ho, Ya Ho Ya Ha Ho, Ya Ha Ho Ya Ha Ho, Ya Ha Ho Ya Ha Ho Ya Ho, Ya Ho [Outro] Heads down, someone's calling, but your head's down Someone's drowning Look up, see what's before your eyes Someone escaping or someone drowning Head's down, you can help them but your head's down Your head is underground
