Drunks
Johnnyswim Lyrics

I wanna write a song the drunks all sing
I want to create a song that inebriated people would love to sing, and even the sober ones could relate and sing along.

And the sober sing along
Even sober people can enjoy and sing along to the song I'm making.

One that's for the man in the ring
The song will be dedicated to people who need encouragement and strength, just like a boxer in the ring.

To suddenly feel strong
The song will empower people and provide them with a sudden surge of strength.

I wanna hear what the Angels played
I wish to listen to the music played in heaven when my father passed away.

When they walked my daddy home
When the angels took my father to heaven, I want to know what music they played.

And I hope you sing along
I want the listeners to enjoy my song so much that they would sing along with me.

Raise a glass and sing along
This line is repeated multiple times as a call for everyone to lift their glasses and sing together as a community.

I wanna learn what David played
I want to know what kind of music David played when he was all alone.

When he found himself alone
David, being all alone, probably played some heartwarming music which I aim to explore.

Let it ring, let it ring
This line is repeated twice to emphasize the idea of the music being uncontrolled and unrestrained, as if to let it flow out of us freely.

On every street and stage
I want my song to reach every corner of the world and be sung on every stage.

Till the loneliest feel known
The music can be a source of comfort for the most isolated people, and they will feel like they are not alone as they sing the song.

A melody my mama hums
There is a lovely tune that my mother hummed that I hope to incorporate into this song.

When I've forgotten my way home
When I feel lost and uncertain in my life, my mother's melody is like a beacon that guides me home.

Oh won't you sing along
I encourage everyone to sing with me and feel the warmth and connection between us.

And If the walls of Jericho
This line refers to the Biblical story of Jericho, where the walls were destroyed by music.

Could crash on down to just a tune
If the walls of Jericho could fall just by a musical note, imagine what effect this song could have on our lives.

I bet our walls could fall also
This song can have an enormous impact on us, and I am confident that it can make our barriers crumble if we allow it.

Even if only me and you sing
Even if only two people sing this song, it can still break the walls between them and make a meaningful connection.

What are we giving to our sons and daughters?
This question is repeated three times, emphasizing the importance of what we leave for our children as a legacy.

What do we give if we ain't loving?
If we do not love ourselves and the people around us, what good are we to our children?

If we can't love then we ain't learning
Viewing the world with an unloving attitude means we cannot grow and learn, affecting not only ourselves but the people around us, including our children.

What are we give, what are we giving?
This line is a reminder to re-examine what we are giving our children and the people around us and ensure that it is love and positivity.

A song for you and me
The song is a way for us to connect and have something to share and remember fondly together.

This is our song
This song is not just for me, but it is something that we can all relate to and sing together as a community.
