Sometimes I find myself

stuck in the middle with

nowhere to turn

So I pull it in

and tell myself it all works out

But then again

no one helps when

things go wrong

So I saved myself

saved myself learned

how to Swim



Sometimes you find yourself

stuck in the crowd with

nowhere to turn

So you go against

What everybody feels

But feelings burn

Then you'll see

That no one person

Rules the world

You tell yourself

That everybody learns

how to Swim



With it don't fight the tide

Don't fight the tide

Just swim with it, but first...



You put your feet on the ground

I can't pick you up every time

You're falling down

No I'm not your mother or

Your father



You put your feet on the ground

I can't pick you up every time you're falling down

No I can't go any further

But I know



It's hard

to do the right thing

in the right place

when you want to do

something else in

their face



Do what I do don't turn the back and

walk away no

do what I do and learn

how to Swim

With it don't fight the tide

Don't fight the tide

Just swim with it, but first...

You put youre feet on the ground

I can't pick you up every time

You're falling down

No I'm not your mother or

Your father



You put your feet on the ground

I can't pick you up every time

You're falling down

No I can't go any further

No, no...



Just learn how to Swim

With it don't fight the tide,

don't fight the tide

just swim with it, but first...



You put your feet on the ground

I can't pick you up every time

You're falling down

No, Im not your mother or

Your father



You put your feet on the ground

I can't pick you up every time

You're falling down

No I can't go any further



Put your feet on the ground

Won't you put your feet

on the ground,

no I can't pick you up

Every time you're falling down

Put your feet on the ground



And learn how to Swim

With it, don't fight the tide

Don't fight the tide



Just swim......



Just swim...
