Sink or Swim
We all sink to the bottom before we can swim
 Because no one dips their feet before they dive in
 And the tide and current will take us by surprise
 While we're falling deep in a sea of blissful lies
 And the cold will sting and it will numb our skin
 Until we can't feel the water and what we're swimming in
 We look for an easy way out to turn waves into ripples
 But it's too late when we learn this water isn't that simple
 When the waves hit us they will selfishly knock us down
 And we will sink and we will sink until we can see the ocean's ground
 We can overcome the waves or we can let them win
 This ocean is life and we can either sink or we can swim
