Anything Could Happen
London Community Gospel Choir Lyrics

Stripped to the waist
Without any coverings on our upper body

We fall into the river
We drop into the river water

Cover your eyes
Put your hands up to your eyes

So you don't know the secret
So that you don't find out the thing that nobody else knows

I've been trying to hide
I have been trying to keep it a secret

We held our breath
We stopped breathing in order to wait and see what happened

To see our names are written
To see that our names have been recorded

On the wreck of '86
On the remains of the ship that sank in 1986

That was the year
1986 was the time

I knew the panic was over
I realized that the feeling of fear had come to an end

Yes since we found out
Yes since we discovered

That anything could happen
That any possible outcome could take place

Anything could happen
Anything can occur

Anything could
Anything has the potential to happen

After the war we said we'd fight together
We made a commitment to stand together once the war was over

I guess we thought that's just what humans do
I suppose we believed it was a human trait to join forces after a conflict

Letting darkness grow
Allowing negative feelings to intensify

As if we need it's palette and we need it's color
As if we required the range and depth of these negative things

But now I've seen it through
But now that I've been through it

And now I know the truth
And I have discovered what the truth is

Baby, I'll give you everything you need
Darling, I will provide all that you require

But I don't think I need you
But I don't believe that I require you

I know it's gonna be
I'm confident it will happen a certain way

(But I don't think I need you)
(But I don't believe that I require you)
