Lyrics Stroke by Stroke - Matt Doyle

Stroke by Stroke

Don’t you know the world is water?
You can’t just float on it
Can’t skim it
Afraid to swim it
No, you can’t just stay on land
Somehow, you gotta break that water
Kick and pull through it
You cross each length
With stride and strength
You pace the course
With even force
Your hand in front of hand
You go
Stroke by stroke by stroke by stroke by stroke
You go
Stroke by stroke by stroke by stroke by stroke
So meet me at the touch of water—
And take some laps with me
Some free, some test
With our back and breast
We’ll keep our style
Through the millionth mile
And when it’s more than we can stand
We’ll go
Stroke by stroke by stroke by stroke by stroke
We’ll go
Stroke by stroke by stroke by stroke by stroke
Let others walk around an ocean
Let others try to build a bridge across
But you and me, we fall in, fall in
Never sure we’ll survive
But we’ll find out how deep
Learn the secrets they keep
At the bottom where we arrive
Now, let’s jump
Let’s jump!
We’ll never know we’re alive
‘Till we jump, till we dive!!!
And we go
Stroke by stroke by stroke by stroke by stroke!
Yeah, we go
Stroke by stroke by stroke by stroke by stroke
By stroke!
So meet me at the touch of water—
And take the swim with me…
