James – Ya Ho

James – Ya Ho Lyrics

Artist: James
Song: Ya Ho

I nearly died, when you jumped in
But you had to drown before you could swim
All the people on the beach, they were so impressed
That they wanted to join you

But no, they wouldn’t undress
Or let that wetness splash their skin
So they pray for a whirlpool to pull you in
Ya Ho! Ya Ho!

So they looked away, and they tried to pretend
That it was for you, but no it wasn’t for them
So the fear of sinking remains in place
But it’s the fear of failure that’s a real disgrace

Ya Ho! yo yo, Ya Ho, yo yo
Let me be the one
Let me be the one
Let me be the one

Let me be the one
To get over your wall
To get over your wall
Head in the sand, sea out of reach

Swept away by the games of the beach
Those people sat and watched your stand
And the weight of their fears
Pulled them underground

Will anyone learn from the stories that are told
Of the tribe who drowned in the grave of gold
Ya Ho, yo yo, Ya Ho, yo yo
Let me be the one

Let me be the one
Let me be the one
Let me be the one
To take a cool long look with eyes prised wide

To face those fears from which I hide
Ya Ho, Ya Ho
Ya Ho, Ya Ho
Ya Ha Ho, Ya Ha Ho

Ya Ha Ho, Ya Ha Ho
Ya Ha Ho
Ya Ho, Ya Ho
Heads down, someone’s calling, but your head’s down

Someone’s drowning
Look up, see what’s before your eyes
Someone escaping or someone drowning
Head’s down, you can help them but your head’s down

Your head is underground
Your head is underground
Your head is underground
Your head is underground
