I was drowning in the sea | I was drowning in the sea | ||
There was no more hope for me | There was no more hope for me | ||
I was ready to give up my life | I was ready to give up my life | ||
Then I heard a friendly voice | Then I heard a friendly voice | ||
Telling me I had a choice | Telling me I had a choice | ||
All I | All I have to do is trust myself | ||
Dead man's float | Dead man's float | ||
Coming home to you | |||
Dead man's float | Dead man's float | ||
Nothing more to do | Nothing more to do | ||
Now I want to tell the world | Now I want to tell the world | ||
How I found this shining pearl | How I found this shining pearl | ||
How I | How I learned to drift and float away | ||
Everybody tilt your head | Everybody tilt your head | ||

Of a thousand systems in the air | Of a thousand systems in the air | ||
No one tries to make it so | No one tries to make it so | ||
... only watch the show | |||
And surrender when it's time to go | And surrender when it's time to go | ||
