    Story Behind the Song
    This song is about a kid who grew up around people who never let him think for himself or make his own decisions. They told him how to act and what to believe in. He eventually seperated himself from "the ones who loved him" and went out on his own to find himself. In the end he became lost and confused. He couldn't survive in the real world because no one ever showed him how.

    Lyrics
    Sink Or Swim
    (Lyrics by John Mosco)

    He walked into the forest
    He never once looked back
    At the ones who loved him
    The people that cried
    They all knew what was best
    Raised him to be so strong
    Never did he say good bye
    When he left the village that day
    He came up to a river
    That poisoned him with fear
    The reflection of his shadow
    From the water called him near

    Time goes by so quickly
    When all that matters is gone
    Everything turns sour and stale
    When something’s out too long

    He walked up to his shadow
    And looked down at his face
    His mirror image spoke
    And said it was okay
    He knew he could not swim
    He figured his shadow would guide
    He jumped into the water
    And his shadow let him drown

    Death is unexpected
    When you think you’ll last forever
    Clouds congeal and form a storm
    And wash away the weak

    Maybe you’ll give in
    You have no faith anyway
