Dive In
Dive In: A Reflection on Life's Currents
Lyrics
I saw a man on the side of the road with a sign that read
I observed a man by the roadside holding a sign that said
Will work for food
"Will work for food"
Tried to look busy, 'til the light turned green
Tried to appear occupied until the traffic light turned green
I saw a bear on TV and his friends were all drowning
I witnessed a bear on TV, and its companions were drowning
'Cause their homes were turning to water
Because their habitats were transforming into water
A strange, kinda sad, big old bear
A peculiar, somewhat melancholic, large bear
Surely would happily eat me
Surely, it would gladly consume me
He'd tear me to pieces that bear
It would violently tear me into pieces, that bear
Wake up, sleepy head
Awaken, person who is sleepy
I think the sun;s a little brighter today
I believe the sun seems a bit brighter today
Smile and watch the icicles melt away and see the water's rising
Smile and witness the melting of icicles as the water level rises
Summers here to stay and all those summer games will last forever
Summer is here to stay, and the joyous summer activities will endure indefinitely
Go down to the shore, kick off your shoes, dive in the empty ocean
Head to the shore, remove your shoes, and immerse yourself in the vast, empty ocean
Tell me everything will be okay
Assure me that everything will be fine
If I just stay on my knees and keep praying
If I kneel and continue praying
Believing in something
Having faith in something
Tell me everything is all taken care of
Confirm that everything is taken care of
By those qualified to take care of it all
By those who are qualified to manage it all
Wake up, sleepy head
Awaken, person who is sleepy
I think the sun's a little brighter today
I believe the sun's brightness has increased today
Smile and watch the icicles melt away and see the water's rising
Smile and observe the melting icicles as the water level rises
Summers here to stay and that sweet summer breeze will blow forever
Summer is here to stay, and the refreshing summer breeze will persist forever
Go down to the shore, kick off your shoes, dive in the empty ocean
Go to the shore, kick off your shoes, and plunge into the vast, empty ocean
One day, do you think we'll wake up
One day, do you believe we will wake up
In a world on it's way to getting better?
In a world progressing towards improvement?
And if so, can you tell me how?
If so, can you explain how?
I have been thinking that lately the blood is increasing
I have been contemplating that the blood is on the rise
The tourniquets not keeping hold in spite of our twisting
The tourniquet is losing its grip despite our efforts to tighten it
Though we would like to believe
Even though we wish to believe
We are, we are not in control
We are not in control
Though we would love to believe
Even though we would love to believe
Wake up, sleepy head
Awaken, person who is sleepy
I think the sun's a little brighter today
I believe the sun's brightness has increased today
Smile and watch the icicles melt away and see the water's rising
Smile and observe the melting icicles as the water level rises
Summers here to stay and those sweet summer girls will dance forever
Summer is here to stay, and the delightful summer girls will dance eternally
Go down to the shore, kick off your shoes, dive in the empty ocean
Go to the shore, kick off your shoes, and plunge into the vast, empty ocean
