verse

It seemed to them he must know what to do

They knew that only he could pull them through

They thought that he would make a plan

He'd work it out, he'd understand

break

Like drowning men they clutched at every straw

They knew that he had saved them all before

But he could see no point in diving in

He knew that he would neither sink nor swim
