When I find myself running from madness
I am always going to the same place
Chasing solace, I run as fast as I can
I run away to the water over and over again

It called to me when I was lost inside myself
When I had lost sight of who I was
Pulled me in and held me in harmony
Helped me to feel small and safe

Wrapped in its motion, my body can be free
I move effortlessly, entirely supported
I speak my greatest fears and deepest worries
Knowing in here, they can be washed clean

Like a child, I am able to play
Like I did years ago
In a lake far away from home
Born a swimmer and bound to the mystical

Above the earth and below the sun, I am one with the world
I belong
No place on land compares to my sanctuary
In the water and inside my peace

The rest of the world is quiet
And so is my mind
Drifting in the open, I can finally surrender
I have no one that I need to be

My problems can’t swim
They sit on the shore waiting for my return
But I swim to be saved
And to shed them for good

I will run from chaos as fast as I can
Running until the road runs out
To where my spirit can rest easy
I will run until I’m able to swim
