"Swimming to the Other Side"

Words and Music by Pat Humphries
as sung by Darrel Clark

(Chorus)
We’re all livin’ ‘neath the great Big Dipper.
We’re all washed by the very same rain.
We are swimmin’ in the stream together,
Some in power, some in pain.
We can worship this ground we walk on,
Cherishing the beings that we live beside.
Loving spirits will live forever;
We’re all swimmin’ to the other side.

I am alone, and I am searching,
Hungering for answers in my time.
I am balanced at the brink of wisdom.
I’m impatient to receive a sign.
I move forward with my senses open.
Imperfection, it be my guide.
Loving lesson that I will follow:
We’re all swimmin’ to the other side.

Chorus

On this journey through thoughts and feelings,
Finding intuition, my head, my heart,
I am gathering the tools together,
Preparing to do my part.
All of those who have come before me
Band together and be my guide.
Loving lesson that I will follow:
We’re all swimmin’ to the other side.

Chorus

When we get there we’ll discover
All of the gifts we’ve been given to share
Have been with us since life’s beginnings,
And we never knew that they were there.
We can balance on the brink of wisdom
Never recognizing we’ve arrived.
Loving spirits will live forever;
We’re all swimmin’ to the other side.

We’re all livin’ ‘neath the great Big Dipper.
We’re all washed by the very same rain.
We are swimmin’ in the stream together,
Some in power, some in pain.
We can worship this ground we walk on,
Cherishing the beings that we live beside.
Loving spirits will live forever;
We’re all swimmin’ to the other side.

Loving spirits will live forever;
We’re all swimmin’ to the other side.
