Great Lake Swimmers On The Water歌词

On The Water

I was on the water when it began to heave and amplify
My words were strong, but I would not have the magic
That they'd stop making patterns
As caps of white, raised and broke I fasten to the boat

The panic overtook me, and the fear I held within
I drew a breath and I tried to find the courage
To stand the troubled trip
"What have I gotten myself into?"
I silently wondered, I silently asked

I thought of my family, and thought of my love
I thought of my maker and what might be above
And the cabin in the woods that I have not yet build
And many other things that I hold dear in this world

I roared through the turmoil and rode through the strife
I held to my oars, and I clung to my life
And then when my vision began to blur
This is what I saw, and the thought that had occurred:

I saw every fish swimming fast beside me
And all kinds of leaves from all different trees
And all of the insects that circle on the earth
Birds and land animals are reaching towards birth

And I saw my body on a body of water
And I could see that we were the same
Roaring and reckless, and vulnerable
In motion, and swaying, and predisposed to changing

When I open my eyes, the vision was felt
I picked up my oars and I kissed the calmness
With stronger arms I silently swept
I silently drifted, I silently wept
