Chorus:
We are living ‘neath the great big dipper We are washed by the very same rain
We are swimming in this stream together Some in power and some in pain
We can worship this ground we walk on Cherishing the beings that we live beside
Loving spirits will live forever We’re all swimming to the other side
I am alone and I am searching Hungering for answers in my time
I am balanced at the brink of wisdom I’m impatient to receive a sign
I move forward with my senses open Imperfection, it be my crime
In humility I will listen We’re all swimming to the other side
On this journey through thoughts and feelings Binding intuition, my head, my heart
I am gathering the tools together I’m preparing to do my part
All of those who have come before me Band together and be my guide
Loving lessons that I will follow We’re all swimming to the other side
When we get there, we’ll discover All of the gifts we’ve been given to share
Have been with us since life’s beginning And we never noticed they were there
We can balance at the brink of wisdom Never recognizing that we’ve arrived
Loving spirits will live together We’re all swimming to the other side
