Head scarcely above water
dragged down by the stone
through no fault of others
carried on my own
to sink alone or swim
heavy burdens hindered with
wretched and helpless
exposed and defenseless
time and tide stand still
a commanding will to live until...
The current pulls me cruel and slow
immersed in sorrow's undertow
to fight against the water's flow
and though I bear a measured load
I struggle to the crest
to breathe the giving air
without a moment's rest
weighed down to fight against
I strive to persevere
and breathe the giving air
Then submerged and bathed in green
I descend to sub-marine
in depths of my depravity
I find the need to persevere
and breathe the giving air
