It was a simple dare from a boy
"So, will you swim the river?"
I was young and didn't care
Going to show I wasn't scared
I was going to deliver

How rivers turn into seas
How this all became a part of me
How this all became bigger than me
Much bigger than me

I swam so long, I couldn't see back
And I couldn't stop shivering
But I swam the river, til my faraway friends
Were just a sliver, far off

I swam til the water was a mirror
Reflecting all I was
Until I was free of everything
I listened to my own breath
As I felt the cold rush
Of the waves wash over me
Until I was empty
