I lost my balance and I fell to the floor   A different perspective, no less and no more   Gets harder to get up every time I go down   But the struggle to get up is what keeps me around      And out of all the things I know   I see that most of it comes slow   And the things that keep me on the ground   Are what I want around      So check that water before you go in   'Cause unseen changes might endanger your swim   And before you know it, you're carried away   And somebody somewhere might need you someday      And out of all the things I find   I'll keep the ones that keep my mind   And the things that plant me in the ground   Are what I want around      Here's the way that the deal goes down   Life's passed out and there's nothing you can do   About the fools around you, but keep your guard up   Remember to breathe      And I figure it out every now and then   When I look around at this place I'm in   Then I let someone pinch me   So I'll know I'm alive      And out of all the things I find   I'll keep the ones that keep my mind   And the things that plant me in the ground
