How do you walk in shallow waters br When you need to swim in sea br With a depth of understanding br Of space and liberty br br How do you swim in shallow waters br Stifled, chained, not free br Restrained and unable br To be what you want to be! br br How do you grow in shallow waters br When around you are small minds br Closed, bigotted opinions br Of the mind-damaging kind br br How do you wake to shallow waters br Who helps you see the way br To a deeper, fuller ocean br And a brighter every daybr br vanessa hughesbr br
