For the people who walked here before
To the ghosts and all that they saw
Lost forever now and forever more
If you had the breathable speech
Shall we could learn how you could teach is
What we will never know at the prize of our souls
So teach me this day how to swim
And I'll confess you all of my sins
From childhood live in to the day that it begins
So I open my eyes and I see the morning lighting the trees
Do you hear me sister breathe from this sickness please
So as I wake up a different man in a world
I don't understand would you just accept me for who I am
As I feel the sun on my skin
I hear a voice from within
And it comes to me again and again
So teach me this day how to swim
And I'll confess you all of my sins
From childhood live in to the day that it begins
So I open my eyes and I see the morning lighting the trees
Do you hear me sister breathe from my sickness please
An old man without a name
Hangs his head and looks on his shade
To the dreams he had still once are the same
To the memories in his head of all the things that he never said
To another life you carry them
So teach me this day how to swim
And I'll confess you all of my sins
From childhood live in to the day that it begins
So I open my eyes and I see the morning lighting the trees
Do you hear me sister breathe from my sickness please
