U
Emery Gareth Lyrics

Walking down the highway, traffic's coming my way
I am in a dangerous position with cars moving towards me on the road

All I see are flashing lights
The emergency vehicles are the only things I see

People wearing blue suits wanna know the real truth
The police are trying to determine if I was intoxicated while driving

How many did I have tonight?
They are asking about the amount of alcohol I consumed

Looking at the wreckage anyone would guess that all inside had died
The crash looks horrific and would make anyone assume all involved are dead

But I'm alive
Despite the odds, I survived the accident

Wake up in a strange place, angels over my head
I wake up in a location that is unfamiliar to me with medical personnel around me

One of them is shouting clear
One of them is trying to revive me or make sure I am conscious

Thousand bolts of lightning bring me back to life
The medical treatments are intense and bring me back to consciousness

And it's a miracle that I'm still here
The fact that I survived after such a traumatic event is miraculous

As I'm coming to, I'm screaming out, I need you by my side
I am in a state of panic and need someone I care about close to me

No, I didn't pray to god
I did not turn to religion during this intense experience

No, I never saw the light
I never had a near-death experience where I saw a light

No, I didn't watch my life go flashing right before my eyes
My life did not literally flash before my eyes during the accident

No, I didn't do the things that they all said that I would do
I did not live my life in the way that others had predicted

I just closed my eyes and all I saw was you
During the intense experience, I was reminded of the person I care about most
