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 crime
In humility, I will listen
We’re all swimming to the other side…
We are living ‘neath the great big dipper
We are washed by the very same rain
We are swimming in this stream together
Some in power and 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 swimming to the other side
When we get there we’ll discover all of the gifts we’ve been given to share
Have been with us since life’s beginning and we never noticed they were there
We can balance at the brink of wisdom, never recognizing that we’ve arrived
Loving spirits will live together
We’re all swimming to the other side…
(Pat Humphries, Swimming to the Other Side)
