Inspired by Bill Yeates - "just keep swimming"
Lyrics
Hey, did you hear about Bill?
He has dementia
He was goin’ downhill
Swimming gave him direction
When he felt like giving in
He just kept on swimming
His body & soul, his mind & heart
Make him who he is, he’s a work of art
He’s a work of art
When he feels like giving in
He just keeps on swimming
Now did you hear about Kay?
The man she married has dementia
She was losing her way
Music found expression
When she felt like giving in
She just kept on singing
Her body & soul, her mind & heart
Make her who she is, she’s a work of art
She’s a work of art
When she feels like giving in
She just keeps on singing
And what about you
If dementia came to you?
Will you go downhill
Lose your way
Or make the most of every day
If you felt like giving in
Will you sink or keep on swimming
Your body & soul, your mind & heart
Make you who you are, you’re a work of art
You’re a work of art
When you feel like giving in
Will you sink or keep on swimming?
When you feel like giving in
Will you sink or keep on swimming?
