Swimming to the Other Side

Lyrics by: Pat Humphries

Performed by: Elaine Silver

Chorus:  
 
        We are living 'neath the great Big Dipper
        We are washed by the very same rain
        We are swimming in the stream together
        Some in power, some in pain
        We can worship this ground we walk on
        Cherishing the beings that we live beside
        Loving spirits will live forever
        We're all swimming to the other side. 

I am alone, and I am searching, hungering for answers in my time
I am balanced at the brink of wisdom, I'm impatient to receive a sign
I move forward with my senses open, imperfection will be my crime
In humility I will listen, we're all swimming to the other side 

On this journey of thoughts and feelings, finding intuition: my head, my heart
I am gathering the tools together, I'm preparing to do my part
All of those who have come before me, band together to be my guides
Loving lessons that I will follow, we're all swimming to the other side 

When we get there we'll discover, all of the gifts we've been given to share
Have been with us since life's beginning and we never noticed they were there
We can balance at the brink of wisdom, never recognizing that we've arrived
Loving spirits will live forever, we're all swimming to the other side 

Appropriate for any Pagan occasion needing reminding of the connection 
between us all
