Chorus: (same melody as verse) We are living 'neath the great Big Dipper We are washed by the very same rain We are swimming in the stream together Some in power, some in pain We can worship this ground we walk on Cherishing the beings that we live beside Loving spirits will live together 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 will be my crime In humility I will listen, we're all swimming to the other side On this journey of thoughts and feelings, finding 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 to be my guides 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 recognize that we've arrived Loving spirits will live together, we're all swimming to the other side
