Starfish

I am floating on the surface of the sea
With my face above the water
While my ears are underneath
I am stretching out my hands
My feet can't touch the sand
And I can hear my lungs when I breathe

I could be lying here for hours if I dared
But I'm afraid that I'll go drifting off somewhere
Into the open sea
No one can rescue me
But for the moment I'm enthralled by the peace

As long as I am floating and the shore's within my reach
And I am staying calm, the current is weak
I'm lying like a starfish on the surface of the sea
Though I am not a swimmer, I'm not frightened by the deep

The sound of water seems like of another world
And my body is just following the curves
As the ocean swells are rolling in the breeze
I am lying floating in the sea

I could be safer if my feet stood in the sand
But I get tired of always knowing where I am
Though I'm frightened of what is hidden underneath
I am lying face up in the sea

As long as I am floating and the shore's within my reach
And I am staying calm, the current is weak
I'm lying like a starfish on the surface of the sea
Though I am not a swimmer, I'm not frightened by the deep

As long as I am floating and the shore's within my reach
And I am staying calm, the current is weak
I'm lying like a starfish on the surface of the sea
Though I am not a swimmer, I'm not frightened by the deep
