Strong Swimmer

Strong Swimmer

Shelby Earl
Each time that I walk out the front door
A new muscle is born
And with every tear I'm feeling the ocean
I'll swim in next year

And oh, what a strong swimmer I'll be by then
Oh, what a strong swimmer I'll be in the end

He said, "climb on my back
And I'll get you across the dangerous part"
But then I let go, and said
"I don't need help anymore"

'Cause, oh, what a strong swimmer I am in my head
Oh, what a strong swimmer I'll be in the end

They said, "careful my dear, it's not safe for you here
There's an undertow"
But I gave them a wink and dove in the deep
Just to see where it goes

And oh, what a strong swimmer I'll be by then
Oh, what a strong swimmer I'll be in the end

Through the push and the pull, never lose my resolve
I'm medalworthy
And when the tears weigh me down
Shed 'em all to the ground and start swimming

'Cause, oh, what a strong swimmer I am in my head
Oh, what a strong swimmer I'll be in the end
What a strong swimming I'll be in the end

Oh, what a strong swimmer I'll be by then
