I Breathe in Water

In deep blue waters where the soft tides slowly sweep,
Through coral homes that rest in the quiet ocean deep,
I rise and see a world I cannot survive,
Then dive to the water-air where I feel alive.

In waving kelp where shadows gently move and sway,
With glowing lights that softly turn the night to day,
I rise and hear the noise up on the land,
Then dive to water-air I understand.

(Chorus)
I breathe in water, that’s the air I need,
The ocean holds my heart, my soul, my speed,
The surface world is not a place for me,
I’m safe beneath the waves, forever free,
I rise and fall with every rolling tide,
But I won’t stay where I can’t live outside,
My life is written in the open blue,
Where water-air is all I ever knew.


In old shipwrecks that rest beneath the rolling sea,
Where time stands still and lets my spirit wander free,
I rise and feel the sky burn in my chest,
Then sink to the water-air where I breathe best.


In calm blue depths where whale songs gently roll,
And moonlight softly shines and soothes my soul,
I rise and find the world too harsh to stay,
Then breathe my water-air and drift away.

(Chorus)
I breathe in water, that’s the air I need,
The ocean holds my heart, my soul, my speed,
The surface world is not a place for me,
I’m safe beneath the waves, forever free,
I rise and fall with every rolling tide,
But I won’t stay where I can’t live outside,
My life is written in the open blue,
Where water-air is all I ever knew.



In quiet seas where gentle waves move slow,
And little silver fish all come and go,
I rise but feel the air I cannot bear,
Then dive back down to breathe my water-air.

(Bridge)
I’m not meant for the noise above the waves,
Or heavy skies that never seem to save,
My lungs were made for oceans deep and wide,
Where water-air and I can both collide.

(Chorus)
I breathe in water, that’s the air I need,
The ocean holds my heart, my soul, my speed,
The surface world is not a place for me,
I’m safe beneath the waves, forever free,
I rise and fall with every rolling tide,
But I won’t stay where I can’t live outside,
My life is written in the open blue,
Where water-air is all I ever knew.
