The Sewol Ferry
A normal day arose
Nobody knew what was coming their way,
It's a little hard to describe,
It's a little hard to say.
The Sewol ferry was overloaded
There were 476 on board,
172 saved and 304 died.
Half of them were students
Only half of them survived
Separated from their families
They had sent notes on their last night.
They ran for the boats,
They fought for the last resources
And they fought for their lives.
