I know how you're feeling I've been through it all before
You're full of the poison and wanting more and more
Stuck in for months, the drug it makes you blind
But it's a two way street brother and i'm leaving no-one behind
Down in the ocean I try, I try, I try
Down in the ocean I try, I try, I try
But I drown in the ocean cause I cry, I cry, I cry
But down in the ocean is how I will survive
Before you make judgment, find out what I'm about
Cause I heard the brother speak he did not shout
He spoke words of wisdom, ideals shared around
The full of the country but some were simply blind
Down in the ocean I try, I try, I try
Down in the ocean I try, I try, I try
But I drown in the ocean cause I cry, I cry, I cry
But down in the ocean is how I will survive
For some kind of reason I've spent most my time
Constantly chasing and living another life
Then I got through it, you could say i've seen the light
Now i'm never in darkness even late at night
Down in the ocean I try, I try, I try
Down in the ocean I try, I try, I try
But I drown in the ocean cause I cry, I cry, I cry
But down in the ocean is how I will survive
