The easy, fast & fun way to learn how to sing: 30DaySinger.com
At the YMCA swimming pool I was learning how keep my cool In water deeper than my head Just started to get a grip Listening to the muted screams underneath I was beginning to be at peace But I knew it wasn’t going to stay this way To pass the class I had to play The diving game like all the other kids From way up there it looked mile down My knees were locking I was crying now It doesn’t help that they’re cheering me on I couldn’t jump I was wasting time So the teacher told me they'll make up my mind Or they'll have to drop me in My heart was beating faster than I thought it could My legs quit working when they really should Fear has a funny way of digging in My arms start flailing like a cat in the tub I couldn’t figure out which way was up I think this failure is sinking in I think my failures are sinking in Years went by avoiding anything deep Diving lessons never worked on me But I think it’s time to try again My pal said that he could give me a hand We’ll take it slow we're not far from land We’ll have a lifejacket just in case I start freaking out But I lost track of my peaceful mind I was grabbing on to anything I could find I almost drown my friend who was just trying to help me swim My heart was beating faster than I thought it could My legs quit working when they really should Fear has a funny way of digging in My arms start flailing like a cat in the tub I couldn’t figure out which way was up I think this failure is sinking in I think my failures are sinking in
