Well it could be worse,
And not have the choice,
Relax,
Take it easy
What’s there to worry about
Now you’ve clawed it all back
Like the swimmer who can’t swim
I needed to know, how it goes
I tried to learn how, the lengths that we take
But I did not realise, freedom, fear, hand-in-hand together with them, be free again
So here I go, push away from the edge
Down the middle, around the bend
People stop, stare, I’m not the only one about
But it don’t matter,
You got out there and went for it
The doer, your future
Not the watcher, but participator, the racer, go-getter
Faster, forward, here we go
Like the swimmer needs the shore
The people helped me out of the water
The joy it gave to me
‘Are you crazy’ one guy said
‘You’re not supposed to go in there’
I missed the signs
As I went faster,
Faster, forward, further, deeper
I left them all way back, I left them all way back
I can’t remember the way back, I left them all way back
Like the swimmer needs the shore,
Like the swimmer needs the shore
