lyrics

SWANS

I used to go
Down by the lake
To watch the swans
For pleasures sake

It was always peaceful
Always free
The way that life
Could really be

And I could see the ripples form
On the water as they moved
They were just like music
With all the charms to soothe

It gave me a thought
That would always lift my pride
Just think of swans
And their graceful stride


Now childhood
Is all in the past
I wonder how
It went so fast

The darkest fears
The brightest dreams
They seem to meet
Like mountain streams

The water rages
To the ocean, pushing on
Will I arrive full of anger
Or gentle as a swan?

I keep this thought
To lift my pride
I think of swans
And their graceful stride
