Let Me Swim by Lizzy Hardingham

 

I was born for the sea

The waves beckon me in

The water ashes everything I’m not

And bathes me in my skin

I was born for the sea

 

Let me swim let me swim

For I was born for the sea

 

I was taken from the sea

I feel it in my bones

For now my life is here upon the shore

Naked and alone 

​

Let me swim let me swim

I was taken from the sea

 

I am bound for the sea

The tide, she calls me home

My skin is waiting somewhere out of sight

Beneath the raging foam

​

Let me swim let me swim

I am bound for the sea

​

Let me swim let me swim

I am bound for the sea
