lyrics

I suggest we stop calling what fish do swimming
Swimming is a human struggle to stay afloat
And though some can do it gracefully
The human part stays awkward, busy movement
Trying not to drown in an environment
That would be perfect if we were just not us

To be like fish, to lack the need for solid ground
To rest from all our weary fighting crushing gravity
To be like fish, to lack the need for solid ground
To rest from all our weary fighting

I suggest we stop calling what fish do swimming
Swimming is a human struggle to stay afloat
And though some can do it gracefully
Most of us can only marvel at their beautiful aptitude

To be like fish, to lack the need for solid ground
To rest from all our weary fighting crushing gravity
