My Place

Stephen Covell


Late last night, I decided to take a swim 
Took off all my clothes, turned around, and dove in 
Suddenly, I realized I was naked for the world to see 
And the way to float had never been taught to me 

And I said, 'I'm unsure of my place in this world 
And I won't understand till I'm older' 

And as you can imagine, I sank 2000 fathoms 
And when I hit bottom, oh, the fishies were ramblin' 
They said 'Hey, kid what'cha doin', who's life you trying to ruin? 
Get back on top' and this was my reply 

And I said, 'I'm unsure of my place in this world 
But I won't understand till I'm older' 

Soon that night drew to a close 
I swam back to my piled up clothes 
Put 'em back on and wondered where I was to go 
I've heard people say it's best to do what'cha know 

And I said, 'I'm unsure of my place in this world 
And I won't understand till I'm older' 

Maybe I won't even get it then 
That's why I decided I'd just dive right back in
