Swimming Lessons by Kulpreet Singh

The sun was out, my mind was dark, the heat was getting strong
Dazed and confused, I sat outside, knowing something was wrong

I was sitting outside of the pool, never aware that it was there.
Then I saw it, and I jumped in; without a thought - without a care.

Suddenly I began to drown, and upon my wrist I felt a hand.
It was the Guru guiding me, and from then on I swam.

At this point I was just learning, not nearly able to swim
But as my Guru swam alongside, I found support in Him

Suddenly Maya came along, and took over my mind
As Maya pulled, I began to cry, and somehow got left behind

Then from nowhere Waheguru came, and She shined within my soul
Finally Maya let me go, and finally I felt whole.

Like a fish without his water, I'd die without You.
Like a child without his mother, I cry without You.

Like Earth around the sun, my life revolves around You.
I patiently wait just for the day, when I will have found You.

Oh Waheguru, it's all about you.

Yes, live life, but why without You...
Yes, live life, but why without You?
