Swimming Against the Flow

[Verse] I ain’t a fish, No scales to shine. River flows to me, Somewhere unwanted. But I won’t drift— I’ve come to climb. Against the pull, I stake my line. [Chorus] Can I be salmon Swim uphill Or let the water bend my will I fight the rattle I take a stand Crash through the rapids Build my land [interlude] [Verse 2] The river mocks A silver tongue Telling me where I belong But driftwood ain't my destiny I'll carve my path where roots can't see [Chorus] Can I be salmon Swim uphill Or let the water bend my will I fight the rattle I take a stand Crash through the rapids Build my land [Bridge] The tide it pulls It bites my skin But I won't bow Won't let it win Scars from rocks show where I've been I bleed my truth That's where I begin. [interlude] [guitar solo] [Chorus] Can I be salmon Swim uphill Or let the water bend my will [interlude] [guitar solo] Can I be salmon Swim up hill Can I be salmon Swim up hill Can I be salmon Swim up hill
