Treading water, arms on fire
The situation now seems dire
No land in any direction
No boat bringing swift salvation

Treading water, you start to sink
This is it, your at the brink
Struggle for everything you can get
Up until your maker you've met

Drowning now you can thrash no more
Arms and legs have become sore
Gasp for air but water fills
And in your lungs water kills

Darkness takes a hold of all
Deeper in the depths you fall
Quiet now it all will end
Away from here your soul you'll send

A light outside your eyes you see
Is someone out there saving me
Hands on my chest, lips on mine
My soul returns across the line

Eyes open now I'm on dry land
Upon my own two feet I stand
I've never felt so alive
Since I took my fateful dive
