We build fortresses around our ribs
Put armies between our hearts
Light fires on the bridges we once crossed
All to protect the tranquility of our waters
To stop the waves from crashing down upon us
But the sooner we learn to swim
The better off we will be
When those storms choose to come.
Remember this when the clouds begin to show
