I want to feel twenty-two
I want to be surrounded by the ocean blue
to let my body go and just be
to feel strong and carefree
I want to desperately fall in love with this water
for it to change me somehow inside
I want to feel alive
but here I am sitting on the shore
with no desire to explore
the ocean possesses a type of power that can take hold
of everything we love most
it is capable of capturing the essence of life
some may even call it the divine
but everything that lives disappoints
the water is powerful and oh so deep
to ever escape all that live under the sea
down below is its own little kingdom that responds
solely to their master regardless of the
consequences that entangle all who enter
so I stay on the sand where I can be my own master
it is easy to dream but clearly my version would only produce disaster
