You hears been washed up?

Well, if the writer says "you have been washed up (upon life's shore)", it is understandable. But "you hears"? What does it mean? It seems not a mistake but is deliberately written.

Context:

Storms may come,
Storms may go
The pain may linger
Like melting snow
The wind may toss you
To and fro but he'll hold you
Through it all

He'll hold you
When the tempest rages all around
He'll hold you
Plant your feet on solid ground
He'll hold you
When the waves come crashing down
He'll hold you through it all

Hard time will come
Rain will pour
You can't see the road anymore
You hears been washed up
Upon life's shore
But He'll hold you through it all

He'll hold you
When the tempest rages all around
He'll hold you
Plant your feet on solid ground
He'll hold you
When the waves come crashing down
He'll hold you through it all
Oh...

When you're fallin'
Hear Him callin'
He will come
In the midst of your storm

Just hold on tight
With all your might
He will hold you through it all

He'll hold you
When the tempest rages all around
He'll hold you
Plant your feet on solid ground
He'll hold you
When the waves come crashing down
He'll hold you through...
He'll hold you
When the tempest rages all around
He'll hold you
Plant your feet on solid ground
He'll hold you
When the waves come crashing down
He'll hold you through it all
He'll hold you through
He'll hold you through it all...

You can't see the road anymore
You hears been washed up

means: you can't see the road (that) you (hear has) been washed up.

But "hear has" cannot be spelled into "hears".

As to the meaning, does it mean "you hear the road has been washed up, but you can't see it"?

ITS A SONG LYRIC AND THERE IS MUCH GRAMMATICAL LEEWAY IN POETRY OR SONG LYRICS.

"hear" means to reveal or find out about.

I hear you are going to school.

He hears the road is still under construction.

You (plural) hear the roads has been washed out.

You hear has been washed up or You hear is washed up.
shortened for the song becomes, "you hears been washed up."

It probably needs an apostrophe to show the contraction of "hear has" or "hear is" = hear's
