I'm surrounded by a sea of people
As far as the eye can see
All flowing in the same direction
And just floating along, is me
I've been wading in this water
Letting it carry me any way
Not caring about which direction
And never having any say
After wading all this time though
My legs started growing tired
So finally it was time to choose
Which direction I desired
But the problem with floating along
Was that I never became aware
I wasn't really a part of the waves
I was just sort of...there
What I wanted didn't matter
The waves still moved as one
Whether I moved with or against them
Didn't matter in the long run
Then I thought I better get out
And give myself some time to think
But I couldn't see the shore anymore
And with that, I started to sink
Now I'm surrounded by a sea of people
As far as the eye can see
All still flowing in the same direction
But drowning in it, is me
