TREADING WATER
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Hold on, I'll be right behind ya
Soon as I catch my breath
Closer than before and still not there
Trying to make sense of what you left
Where beyond the blue did you go?
I don't know, I don't know
When you get to the place you're going
You'll be standing taller and I'll still be right here
Treading water
(Let the water set me free)
I found the river that you came to
Through the trees and past the shore
(Through the trees and past the shore)
I felt the currents take me over
They pulled me to the ocean floor
Where beyond the blue did you go?
You still hold a piece of my soul, oh
The sound of a morning, the sound of new meaning
I'll keep you in mind
While I'm treading water
Let the water set me free
(Let the water set me free)
Yes, I'll tread this water, yeah
Let the water set me free
Set me free
Tell me that I haven't reached the end
Tell me that there's more around the bend
Tell me that I have the strength to go on
And any time that I think about
Going back, going back
Let the wind and the waves push me home
Push me home
Let the water set me free
Let the water set me free
Let the water set me free
Let the water set me free (let the water)
Let the water set me free
Let the water set me free
Free (free, free)
Let the water set me free (let the water)
Let the water set me free
Let the water set me free
Let the water set me free
Let the water set me free
Let the water set me free
