Sink Or Swim

You’re a single survivor
Found an ocean between you and those that you lost
Got a phone call this morning
Told your sister, said «Always been part of the cost»
Will they know what you look like?
When you step off the bus, will they run to your side?
Like they know you from photos?
Like they know you from stories that kept you alive?
Are you gonna sink or swim?
From coast to coast, it’s more than you bargained for
Are you gonna lose or win?
From ties and lies, it’s something worth trying for
When you sit 'round the table
Will you look into faces and just see your own?
Will you talk of the future?
Will you talk of the things that were almost unknown?
Are you gonna sink or swim? (it's a strange beginning)
From coast to coast, it’s more than you bargained for (after years of waiting)
Are you gonna lose or win? (it's a strange beginning)
From ties and lies, it’s something worth trying for
