The current is strong from what I've heard It'll whisk you down the streamBut I never seem to have the time So my toes just touch the waterMy toes just touch the water I daydreamed on the bank againI was swimming with the fish And I thought this time that it may be trueBut my toes just touch the water My toes just touch the waterMy toes just touch the waterI walked a mile just to find the edge Someplace low enough to step right inNow I'm here and I can't begin to moveNow I'm here and I can't begin to moveNow I'm here and I can't begin to moveNow I'm here and I can't begin to moveNow I'm here and I can't begin to moveNow I'm here and I can't begin to moveNow I'm here and I can't begin to moveNow I'm here and I can't begin to moveThis world's signed up already It always has to have its wayAnd I know that the river's there to shelter meMy toes just touch the waterAnd I know that the river's there to shelter me
