We were there in the woods by the water   We left our packs up against that willow tree   We dove right in, keeping just what we were born with   Our Memories, Knowledge and Dreams      As I swam away from our possessions   I imagined that they were gone forever more   And for once I was glad that all I treasured   Would still be with me as I reached other shore.      So...Let me dive into the water,   Leave behind all that I've worked for   Except what I remember and believe   and when I stand on the farthest shore   I will have all I need      After the blaze burned our cabin down to ashes   Where we'd slept warm, now the sky lets in the rain   I found the strings, frets and rusted latches   But I will never hear that old guitar again   These four walls are only in my memory   Where these stone steps rise to nothing in the air   So one last look and I'm headed for the river   To wash my hands and try to say this prayer      So...Let me dive into the water,   Leave behind all that I've worked for   Except what I remember and believe   and when I stand on the farthest shore   I will have all I need      When my time to live this life is over   I'll tip my hat when I think about that swim   And of all the things that make a life worth living   That only come to those who dive right in      So...Let me dive into the water,   Leave behind all that I've worked for   Except what I remember and believe   and when I stand on the farthest shore   I will have all I need      All I need.....   Let me dive into the water...   It's all I need....
