Swimming against the current,
and suffering so much pain.
The effort needed to reach my goal
lets me hope there's much to gain.
I've reached my goal, and I'm relieved.
I feel that I need a break.
I quit swimming just long enough
to realize I've made a mistake!
The current began to drag me away,
for it had never let me go.
The current, you see, holds me tight
and I can never leave it's flow.
Relentless is the currents hold
and to fight it they say we must.
To reach the goals we're aiming for,
we have to fight the current, or bust!
I think I'd like to try some day,
to give the current it's way.
And let it carry me to the place
it needs me to be that day.
I think that peace would finally come.
My worries would be for naught.
I could relax and enjoy the ride
with the current I'd previously fought.
