Steadily

We can see so far across the sky

We can see so far from here

Across the water

We can see the tops of the trees

I'm holding my arms out steadily

I'm keeping my first secure

To keep me from sinking

To keep me from falling to sleep

Without even a wonder

In this evening, just fading away

And if the water comes up to our necks

And it's easier just to give in

I will remember what I learned before the flooding came

I will remember who I was before the walls gave way.

To keep me from sinking

To keep me from falling to sleep

Without even a wonder

In this evening, just fading away
