Steadily

We can see so far across the sky
We can see so far from here
Across the water
We can see the tops of the trees
I'm holding my arms out steadily
I'm keeping my first secure
To keep me from sinking
To keep me from falling to sleep
Without even a wonder
In this evening, just fading away
And if the water comes up to our necks
And it's easier just to give in
I will remember what I learned before the flooding came
I will remember who I was before the walls gave way
To keep me from sinking
To keep me from falling to sleep
Without even a wonder
In this evening, just fading away
