Swim

Swim

I am swimming through the sky

Tell me why the things that make us smile

Never seem to last for more than just a while

Tell me why the shadows and the rain

Keep on coming back to feed the pain?

The only reason I am looking up so high

Is 'cause I'm scared if I look down, I'll start to cry

But even staring at the stars above the blue

I feel the darkness pulling me away from you

"Someone like me, oh, someone like me"

Don't you ever say those words, just let them be

I'm trying hard to keep the thoughts out of my head

"Someone like you, oh, someone like you"

Don't you go where light can't ever follow through

Before our hearts are burned to ashes instead

Swimming

Swimming

I just want to swim across this endless sky

No matter what, I'm stuck with who I am

Caught inside a life I don't quite understand

If there’s no way to change the skin I’m in

Then why should I even try to begin?

I keep my gaze fixed on the hollow dark

Waiting for a single, tiny, glowing spark

A bolt of lightning cutting through the night

Revealing clouds bathed in a sudden, silver light

Like I am screaming "I am here, I'm still alive"

Like you are shouting "I'm the one who will survive"

A lonely penguin swimming through the blue

Swimming

I am swimming through the sky

I want to be that penguin, brave and true

Even if they laugh and call me names

Even if I'll never win their games

The way he glides through the deep is a miracle to see

Even if the world ignores my call

With these tiny wings, I’ll give my all

The way he flies through the sea is who I want to be

Swimming

Swimming

I am swimming through the sky

I see it even with my eyes closed tight, that sky

Through the clouds of white, like cotton candy lace

A miracle is carving out its space

Bathed in the lightning’s glow

Swimming

Swimming

I’m flying through the clouds now

Swimming

Swimming

I am swimming through the sky

I am

I am

Through the sky

Swimming through the sky
