I Swim Against The Tide I Swim Day And Night The Water Is Cold And Black The Stream Always Drives Me Back I Wish I Had Stayed Underwater I Wish I Hadn't Seen The Sun They're Patient And Hungry I'm Wearing Myself Out I Have To Keep Afloat They're Swimming Right Below Me Above The Sea The Moon Is Shining I'm Tired Almost Blind And Even My Best Swimming Could Not Leave Them Behind I Knew It Wasn't Wise To Leave My Lower Waters To Move Myself Upwards I Was Attracted By The Light I Should Have Remained In The Deeper Waters! I Wish I Had Stayed Underwater I Wish I Hadn't Seen The Sun I Can't Move Any Longer I'm Begging For Relief The Sharks Are Getting Closer Oh May The Kill Be Brief
