Don't you know the world is water?
you can't float on it, can't scare you
Afraid to swim it, No, you can't-
Just stay on land..
Somehow you got to break that water- kick and pull through it.
you cross each length with stride and strength.
You pace the course with even force-
your hand in front of hand

You go by stroke, by stroke, by stroke,
by stroke, by stroke.

You go by stroke, by stroke, by stroke,
by stroke, by stroke.

So meet me at the touch of water and take some laps with me.
Some free, some test
with our book and breasts.
We'll keep our style for the millionth mile-
and when it's more than we can stand

You go by stroke, by stroke, by stroke,
by stroke, by stroke.

Let others walk around an ocean, let others try to build across.
But you and me

fall in.
fall in.

never sure we'll survive, but we'llfind out how deep..
Learn the secrets they keep at the bottom where we arrive.

So let's jump.
Let's Jump.

We'll never know we're alive -

till we jump,
till we dive.

You go by stroke, by stroke, by stroke,
by stroke, by stroke.

So meet me at the touch of water,
and take the swim with me.
