The ocean is larger than you could have fathomed The troubled waters are deeper than you could imagine They're hiding the dangers that wait in the depths For someone to take a wrong step Live on an island an try to ignore All the garbage that washes up onto the shore Avoiding attacks that come from all sides But someday you'll run out of places to hide Walking on water seems easy Until you are stuck on a boat that is sinking And thinking I gotta do something about this Before it's too late, cause if I had a choice I'd row versus wade I'd row versus wade Take two steps forward and then one step back And another another until you are marching Straight into the past where you come face to face With all of the trouble you thought you escaped Maybe I'm thinking too much Then again, maybe I'm not thinking enough About running aground when there's no one around With the strength that it takes For pulling us out of this place Follow the leader seems easy Till you realize that you've been left behind once again And your voice can't be heard through the noise of the engine And the only choice left for you now Is to sink or to swim Is to sink or to swim Walking on water seems easy Until you are stuck on a boat that is sinking And thinking I gotta do something about this Before it's too late, cause if I had a choice I'd row versus wade I'd row versus wade I'd row versus wade I'd row versus wade
