Innocent they swim
I tell them no.
They just dive right in
But do they know?
It's a long way down
When you're alone.
And there's no air or sound
Down below the surface.
There's something in the water
I do not feel safe!
It always feels like torture
To be this close!
I wish that I was stronger
I'd separate the waves!
Not just let the water
Take me away!
There was a time I'd dip my feet
And it would roll off my skin.
Now every time I get close to the edge
I'm scared of falling in.
'Cause I don't want to be stranded again
On my own.
When the tide comes in
And pulls me below the surface.
There's something in the water
I do not feel safe!
It always feels like torture
To be this close!
I wish that I was stronger
I'd separate the waves!
Not just let the water
Take me away!
