Story Behind The Song

The Big C ......a metaphor for Prostate Cancer.....discovering you've got it and how you respond

Lyrics

Chorus : When There's bad blood between the seamen
There's a mutiny on the boat
When your own ship is sinking into the Big Sea
Will you drown in it ,swim it or float
Will you reach for the lifeline of hope ......

When we set out that morning in sunshine All smiles and blue skies at the shore Nothing prepared for the Big Sea storms And the land we might see no more
The Big Sea fills the seamen with fear There's treachery in their hearts
When a once loyal crew become pirates on you Then surely a bad end starts

Fear and shock and all hell break loose As the storm and mutiny rage
The waves of grief wash over the sides and tumble you over the edge
Drowning is quicker when the panic sets in If the seamen don't cut you down first
The big sea will claim yet another soul As it pulls you down to the worst

When you're upside down in the BigSeas brine and you can't see who will win. Better reach for whatever can keep you afloat as well as preparing to swim
This is not just another hard bridge to cross On the road to growing old
The Big Sea is an ocean not a river of tears It's waves of grief must be rolled

When There's bad blood between the seamen
There's a mutiny on the boat
When your ship is sinking into the Big Sea
Will you drown in it ,swim it or float
grab a hold of the lifeline of hope
