Words and Music by Tim Brogdon © 2016
Swimming upstream gotta need to meet
I don’t recall what it might'a could be
A singular thought stuck in my brain
Doesn’t seem to matter if it’s near to sane

Swimming upstream like a salmon in heat
Ain’t no doubt it’s a miraculous feat
A whole life spent fighting, what does it mean
Till I flow with the river
Back down to the deep blue green

Swimming upstream without a thought
Following the leader like we’ve all been taught
Who am I to question why
Everybody’s doin’ it and so am I

Swimming upstream like a salmon in heat
Ain’t no doubt it’s a miraculous feat
A whole life spent fighting, what does it mean
Till I flow with the river
Back down to the deep blue green

I really wanna go
With the flow
But it’s the opposite direction
Of all that I’ve been told

Swimming upstream and to what end
There must be a better way to spend
This little bit of time we seem to share
Flow with the river without a care

I’m swimming upstream like a salmon in heat
Ain’t no doubt it’s a miraculous feat
A whole life spent fighting, what does it mean
Till I flow with the river
Back down to the deep blue green
