I’M WITH THE FISH

WHO SWIM UPSTREAM

AWAY FROM THE SEAS

TO FIND THEIR OWN POND

NEVER TO STOP

TO BE SWEPT BACK

PERHAPS FIND A POOL

TO REST AND RELAX

SWIMMIN’ UPSTREAM

AGAINST THE CURRENT FLOW

SOME FISH SWIM IN SCHOOLS

BUT WHY NOT JUST GO

SWIMMIN’ UPSTREAM

NEVER WILL THE FALLS

NOR THE HOOK AND BAIT

KEEP ME FROM MY JOURNEY

TO WHERE I BELONG

SWIMMIN’ UPSTREAM

AGAINST THE CURRENT FLOW

LIFE DOWNSTREAM IS EASY

BUT I HOPE TO KNOW

SWIMMIN’ UPSTREAM
