The sea is the sea

Sometimes you find yourself trying to let go of something
But it's like, you have been swimming on the ocean for a very very long time
And you feel like you belong there

You are one with the waves
The warmth of the water
And your body moves in sync with the ocean
And you swim around just trying to stay afloat
Then you get tired and you start to drown
And you swim back to land

When you get there you just feel so heavy because you lost touch with gravity for so long
And you collapse on the beach as you try to find balance again

And then your feet finds gravity
You stand up and you look at the horizon one last time
And you just know that no matter how beautiful the sea was
And how good it made you feel
It was never yours to keep

And somedays you'll miss it, you know
And you feel yourself moving with the waves and you dream of diving in

Then you realize your feet was meant for land
And not cut out for the ocean
Maybe you're meant to climb trees, or hike hills, or just run really fast

Letting go is not easy
There's nothing quite like swimming in the ocean
Just like how it's natural for your feet to find gravity
It's natural for you to let go

And find your true purpose in life again
The sea is the sea
And you are just you
I have to let go

But sometimes I find myself waking up at the beach again
