How do you stay afloat
If you only know the concept of swimming?
You're very well versed on
the form and technique
But once thrown into the sea
Does the idea keep you from drowning?
Your in depth study
Will it keep you alive?
If you've heard how to fly
And wish to with all your might
You're aching to take off
And spread your wings
Will you be able to
If you make a running start
And leap a bit off the ground?
Something inside tells you yes
Does longing for something
Throughout your short life
Mean that you will know
Just what to do once you get the chance?

Killer opening and closing. Very philosophical and a nice rhythm (as usual)
