TREADING WATER by Kevin M. Kraft


So far from home
Against the wind
Feeling alone
It's sink or swim

No land in sight
Many have passed
Too far away
How long can you last?

CHORUS:
I'll be your shoulder
I'll be your friend
I'll be the strong arm
right to the bitter end
Getting weary, it's no bother
Just climb up on my back
when you're just treading water

You get some rest
I'll kick awhile
We'll make it home
Or to some isle

I'll take the weight
For you I'll be fine
I can hold my breath
a long, long time

CHORUS
* As always, "Treading Water is dedicated to Colby Landwehr.
