the aaron clift experiment - back to the water lyrics
swim your sea of years
to the day you turned nine
breathe the waves that paint the rocks
smell the seaweed and brine
the sun shined brighter then
saltw-ter tasted sweet
not a care or burden in the world –
just the surf beneath your feet
as you wade through your youth
your worries will unwind
and now you journey further
through the oceans of your mind
back to the water
back to the sea
back to the water
back to the sea
and if your troubles come to drown you
will you let them pull you down?
or will stand in the memory of the tide?
you’re done with oceans
on the day you turn twenty-one
the tide recedes, the sun has set –
your new life’s begun
the wind is bitter
coral reef is bleached
no joyful sounds fill your world –
just the noise from the street
as you hit the pavement
your worries will unfold
and now you journey farther
from the things that kept you whole
you turn your
back to the water
back to the sea
back to the water
back to the sea
way out in the distance
a memory calls your name –
it’s the dock where you went fishing at age ten
if even for an instant
you could step back on the beach
you might find the peace you’re seeking once again
come
back to the water
back to the sea
back to the water
back to the sea
as you wade through your youth
your worries will unwind
now – journey further
through the oceans of your mind
