Jasper in Deadland the Musical - Stroke by Stroke Lyrics
JASPER:
Don’t you know the world is water?
You can’t just float on it.
Can’t skim it,
Afraid to swim it.
No, you can’t just stay on land.
Somehow, you gotta break that water,
Kick and pull through it.
You cross each length
With stride and strength,
You pace the course
With even force,
Your hand in front of hand,
You go
Stroke by stroke by stroke by stroke by stroke.
You go
Stroke by stroke by stroke by stroke by stroke.
So meet me at the touch of water—
And take some laps with me.
Some free, some test,
With our back and breast,
We’ll keep our style
Through the millionth mile,
And when it’s more than we can stand,
We’ll go
Stroke by stroke by stroke by stroke by stroke.
We’ll go
Stroke by stroke by stroke by stroke by stroke.
Let others walk around an ocean,
Let others try to build a bridge across.
But you and me, we fall in, fall in,
Never sure we’ll survive.
But we’ll find out how deep,
Learn the secrets they keep
At the bottom where we arrive.
Now, let’s jump.
Let’s jump!
We’ll never know we’re alive
‘Till we jump, till we dive…!
And we go
Stroke by stroke by stroke by stroke by stroke!
Yeah, we go
Stroke by stroke by stroke by stroke by stroke
By stroke!
So meet me at the touch of water—
And take the swim with me…
