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
