Lyrics
Some headlines (such triumphs)
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
There's a woman in a hurricane, swept 50 miles to sea
From the wild coast of Honduras with all her family
For six days she clings on to life as one by one they drown
Rewarded for tenacity when by Providence she's found
(Chorus) Doctor listen to me and tell me if you can
Why I'm not content and want to be another man
When such triumphs give us hope and cynicism's rife
Am I just a tourist or a dweller in this life?
For a Bath student in a coma, the doctors say "Enough"
Tell the family now's the time to switch life support off
But the patient goes on living, they're sometimes wrong you see,
No brain damage as predicted, but a full recovery
(Ch)
There's disaster in an earthquake In Mexico City
Homes reduced to rubble to compound the poverty
With hope almost abandoned, they find an unharmed babe
And yet another precious life even after thirty days
(Ch)
