Lyrics

Well they can try to sink us, but I'll just swim

Facing challenges, but determined to persevere and not be defeated.

Because my will is stronger than a gale force wind

Expressing strong willpower that surpasses even powerful natural forces.


Look out, look out, 'cause each time I fall

Warning or alerting to be cautious, as each setback leads to a significant impact.

I'll be crashing down, right through your arms

Despite falling, the impact is directed through someone's arms, implying a connection or reliance on someone.


Here I come

Announcing arrival or action with confidence and determination.

Cannonball, cannonball

Repeating the metaphor of a "cannonball" to symbolize a forceful and impactful entry or action.

Here I come

-

Cannonball, cannonball, cannonball

-

And when they light their torches, when they scream and yell

Anticipating adversity, but committed to resistance and defiance.

I'm gonna raise my flag and gonna give 'em hell

Symbolic declaration to stand up for one's beliefs and confront challenges boldly.


Look out, look out, 'cause each time I fall

Reiterating the warning about the impact of each fall and the determination to overcome.

I'll be crashing down, right through your arms

Reinforcing the idea that setbacks will be faced with resilience.


Here I come

Repetition of the confident and forceful arrival represented by the "cannonball."

Cannonball, cannonball

-

Here I come

-

Cannonball, cannonball, cannonball

-

At the end of the day

Reflecting on the challenges at the end of the day and questioning who will endure.

When the air is still and the sky is grey

-

Let's swim

-

Who will be standing?

-

I challenge you all

Challenging others to face obstacles with the speaker.

Bombs away, bombs away

Metaphorical encouragement to confront challenges head-on, like dropping bombs.


Here I come

Repetition of the declaration and determination to face challenges represented by the "cannonball."

Cannonball, cannonball

-

Here I come

-

Cannonball, cannonball

-

Here I come

-

Cannonball, cannonball

-

Here I come

-

Cannonball, cannonball, cannonball
