Hold me tight, the tide is high I just feel so small when I'm on your back No startin wars no starvin wolves Oh when you get cold I'll give you my gloves
And where the oceans end Before the waterfalls Where the writers send Their very last words in bottles I'll try the best I can I'll try my best to be a man
When I'm ready I'll learn to swim To the secret lakes where I've never been Across the waves we rise and fall Now I feel I am 25 feet tall
And where the oceans end Before the waterfalls Where the writers send Their very last words in bottles I'll try the best I can I'll try my best to be a man I'll try the best I can I'll try my best not to make a sound
Across the waves we rise and fall, I'm ready, I'm ready to learn to swim, I'm ready to learn to swim on my own
