How You Remember

And you tread on the water

When you know you can touch the bottom now

It's the southern way said your mother

Stay in shallow shallow water don't touch the ground

But then a slithering sliding form

Catches you before you reach the shore

And as he strikes full of venom you reach out towards the trouble

You've got him now but how

And you thrust him to the sky

Arms raised high you make a Y

There is no fear there is no pain inside

As you twist and ride

This is how you remember yourself

This is how you remember yourself

Arms raised high needing no help

This is how you remember yourself

And you know you can't keep this steady goes

Must release him somehow

As you loosen your hold find you felt it is all over now

His body lifeless and cold you throw him down

And you raise your arms up to the sky

Raised high you make a Y

There is no fear there is no pain inside

As the sun still shines on these drying eyes

This is how you remember yourself

This is how you remember yourself

Arms raised to heaven needing no help

This is how you remember yourself

Um um um

This is how you remember yourself

This is how you remember yourself

This is how you remember yourself

This is how you remember yourself

This is how you remember yourself

This is how you remember yourself

This is how you remember yourself

This is how you remember yourself
