tread the water; Original song

Dont know what happened to my camera but its all fuzzy now, sorry :(

Tread the Water

He said sit down this might hurt
you don't mean blood do you? no, you mean words
I should have known, it was my time
We're falling like dominoes and I'm next in line

I'm trying to keep my head above the water
Like a teeter tauter these days are up and down
but time makes its so hard to hold on longer
but I've got to stay strong to tread the water

I stood up and shook his hand
Cuz it must be tough to be the one in comand
He said "child Ive never seen it so bad"
But I couldn't hear a singer word he said

I'm trying to keep my head above the water
Like a teeter tauter these days are up and down
but time makes its so hard to hold on longer
but I've got to stay strong to tread the water

and all I can do is keep my head to the sky
cuz I don't know how else I'll get by

I'm trying to keep my head above the water
Like a teeter tauter these days are up and down
but someday I will live to tell my daughter
how her mother and father learned to
tread the water

Your words are true. A lot of people are hurting. We need to help each other and try to be strong. Thank you for the amazing and powerful song of real life.

love you, kid. keep making videos, the Lord will take care of you and your family. keep accepting the gifts you're given and you'll go far...although not everybody is rooting for you. I once had a guy I know who had worked with the greats- the beatles, stones, and more- back in the day- tell me how he often saw the "takers" of the world try to scam "the givers." Be wise, be patient, and keep your head to the sky.

Very pleasant. Well done.

This is my favorite one of yours. It's great when songwriters tell stories, that affect more than just themselves. Something we can relate to. Congrats on your half-time gig at the Pistons game! You did great.

You are so inspiring!!! Your songs are so magical, soulful and from the heart. Songs from the heart speak to the heart, and yours have all spoken to mine. I love them. Can't stop listening!

Love from Eve in Wales, UK
