I lost my balance and I fell to the floor. A different perspective no less and no more Gets harder to get up everytime I go down But the struggle to get up is what keeps me around Out of all the things I know I see that most of it comes slow And the things that keep me on the ground are what I want around So check that water before you go in Cause unseen changes might endanger your swim Before you know it you're carried away And somebody somewhere might need you someday Out of all the things I find I'll keep the ones that keep my mind The things that plant me in the ground Are what I want around. Here's the way that the deal goes down Life's passed out and there's nothing you can do about the fools around you but keep your guard up remember to breathe And I figure it out every now and then When I look around at this place I'm in Then I let someone pinch me So I'll know I'm alive.
