Wrapping you up in fear
Bounding you by their hand
The hand feels all too near
But now you understand
Marching orders trying to put us in line
Take away what is yours and what is mine
Glide against the tide? Don’ know I got time
Waves get bigger on this up hill climb
More and more of power and war
Corrupt government politicians hell-bent
Fighting, lying, cheating, dying
Anger, hating multiplying
Keep on swimming against the shoal
Don't drown your soul
Swim against the tide
‘Til the waters’ dried
let love be your guide
‘Cos you can run but you cannot hide
Baby, just don’t lose the round
Maybe keep your feet on the ground
Crazy? You ain’t nothing but a Soul swimming against all you've been put upon
