The Swamp of Mine
In the deep of the water
lies a big alligator
who bites and fights with all his might

He sits in the dark and waits for you patiently
Perhaps you can tame him and make him your friend.
Maybe you can feed him and distract his hungry jaws
But do be aware of his very big claws and just when hes friendly

remind yourself that hes always an enemy
Its all in your mind this fight that you feel
do not let it get down lest you drown from this clown

your past it does keep you from being so free
its in knowing this that freedom can be
to suffer from things so distant and far
is to make all your life so very ajar

Its in the fight to live freely that we must conquer all
that our freedom can be and then we can wander
its all about who together we can be
we can chase away demons and share our dark shadows

and as we go further we learn who are
and this much i tell you I love you so far
all the risks, all the falls, all the awkward moments we share
are so much worth the living that you're giving

so even if i drown while holding your hand
its been so much worth it we both understand
to live and fight for what we know can be ours
to sing and dance in the rain with all cares astray

to laugh and love and kick up our heels
we can have it all and feel so unashamed
so i ask you this can you please hold my hand?
its so much better with you in my band...
