[00:01.681]On the Water -Great Lake Swimmers
[00:07.751]I was on the water
[00:11.801]When it began to heave
[00:15.421]And at the fight
[00:18.601]My words were strong
[00:22.901]But I would not have imagined
[00:26.971]That they'd stop making patterns
[00:31.151]It's caps of white
[00:33.181]Raised and broke I fasten to the boat
[00:40.21]The panic overtook
[00:42.650]Me and the fear I held within
[00:47.480]I drew a breath and
[00:51.350]I tried to find the courage
[00:55.80]To stand the troubled trip
[00:58.170]What have I gotten myself into
[01:02.570]I silently wondered
[01:06.400]I silently asked
[01:12.110]I thought of my family
[01:15.960]And thought of my love
[01:19.670]I thought of my maker
[01:23.270]And what might be above
[01:27.80]And the cabin in the woods
[01:30.900]That I have not yet built
[01:35.270]Many other things that
[01:38.220]I hold dear in this world
[02:14.470]I rode through the turmoil
[02:18.500]And rode through the strife
[02:22.10]I held to my words and
[02:25.750]I clumped to my life
[02:29.560]And then when my
[02:31.860]Vision began to blur
[02:37.870]This is what I saw in
[02:41.170]The thought that had occurred
[02:46.399]I saw every fish
[02:50.149]Swimming fast beside me
[02:53.968]And all kinds of leafs
[02:57.898]From all different trees
[03:01.678]And all of the insects
[03:05.468]That circle on the earth
[03:09.938]Birds and land animals
[03:13.128]Are reaching towards birth
[03:18.728]And I saw my body on a body of water
[03:26.218]And I could see that we were the same
[03:34.557]Roaring and reckless invulnerable
[03:41.417]Emotion and swinging
[03:45.167]And predisposed to changing
[04:21.67]When I open my eyes vision respell
[04:28.557]I picked up my oars
[04:32.127]And I kissed the coldness
[04:36.187]With stronger arms
[04:40.67]I silently swear
[04:43.617]I silently drifted
[04:47.487]I silently wept
