Lyric

Swim

Swim

I swim through the sky

Why is it that joy, like sunlight through the leaves

Never stays, always slips away?

Why does sorrow, like shadows at dusk

Return again, quietly filling the day?

I keep gazing at the sky, searching for light

If I look down, the shadows grow

Even when I look up, sometimes there are no stars

And I fall into the deep, silent night

Someone like me, someone like me

I must not go beyond this line

I try not to think too far ahead

Like you, like you

I must not cross that border

Or my heart will burn with longing

Swim

Swim

I just want to swim through the sky

No matter what, I am only myself

Never anyone else beneath this sun

If I cannot change, then maybe

I should simply let the days drift on

When I gaze at the sky, silent and still

In the darkness, a single line appears

A flash of lightning pierces through the clouds

Illuminating the drifting shapes

It’s as if I’m saying, “I am me”

It’s as if you’re saying, “You are you”

A penguin swimming through the sky

Swim

I swim through the sky

I want to be that penguin

Even if I’m laughed at

Even if I cannot fly

The way I cross the sea is just like

Even if I’m ignored

With these small wings

The way I fly through the water is just like

Swim

Swim

I swim through the sky

Even with my eyes closed, I see that sky

Between the white cotton candy clouds, a single line

A miracle cut through by lightning

Clouds illuminated in silver

Swim

Swim

I fly between the clouds

Swim

Swim

I swim through the sky

I

I

Through the sky

Swim through the sky
