Lyrics
I’ve been trying not to wonder
What the rest of you do
When the light begins to wander
and the morning breaks through

I’ve been striving through my sickness
As if striving is the cure
And still i think i need a witness
To what my body can endure

It needs more and more
Trying to be
Something simple
Trying just to be

I have walked the rainy rivers
With nothing but a hope
That the walking will deliver
Something that i used to know

And the water always beckons
My heart is in the waves
And I let myself imagine
Swimming in it for days

And days and days
trying to be
something simple
Trying just to be
