Lyrics
Verse One Deep in the ocean there dwelled a man He was not your common walking fellow from the land He'll swim in the deep blue while you walk on the sand Wet webbed and weary hands He's not something the fish can understand But he sits and discusses his plans, and the fish lend their ears or whatever fish have He tells them how he'll make his return and never take another bath How he cant wait to be dry and the fish begin to understand why a life breathing through fins wasn't the life meant for him and he Swims and he swims and he doesn't stop And he swims and he'll swim till he's back on top Verse Two The sun tucks in the water as it goes to bed A starry darkness now lays overhead One more day now since the crisis The man stands awake as the sun now rises And with wet webbed and weary hands Still not something the fish can understand. But he sits and discusses his plans and the fish lend their ears or whatever they have He tells them all the things he had and How it went from great to bad and How he cant wait to be dry and The fish begin to understand why A life breathing through fins wasn't the life meant for him and Chorus He lays awake and he lays awake prays to God, breathes and he calls out his name He lays awake and he lays awake Prays to God, breathes and calls out his name Verse Three These days are near their end The old ones will begin again No longer a fish but a man among men (x3) Until then Chorus He lays awake and he lays awake prays to God, breathes and he calls out his name He lays awake and he lays awake Prays to God, breathes and calls out his name He swims and he swims and he doesn't stop He swims and he'll swim till he's back on top
