  1. Against the current
Share


I was swimming in Anahola Bay. A man on the beach said "you were swimming against the current...most people don't do that. You should write a song about that. It will be a big hit for you". I thought that would be a very difficult song to write.

Lyrics

Poseidon with a trident
Neptune with a net I really
cant remember
How we met
I dreamed that I was flying
But that was not my dream

We were swimming against the current
Swimming in the sea

And when my body tired
I was taken by the tide
Out beyond the waves
Where nothing can survive
So I come to surrender
I won't fight no more
I won most every battle
But lost the war

We were swimming against the current
Swimming in the sea


I tumble in the chaos
Of jagged reef
Jealous of the turtles
Floating easily where the current
Takes them but I can't hold my breath
Long enough to find a place to rest

We were swimming against the current
Swimming in the sea

Underneath the surface where the music has no sound
A symphony where no instruments are allowed.
But the song plays eternally
But I hear you singing and you hear me
So I wrote this song for you.
The Song of the Sea

We were swimming against the current
Swimming in the sea
