Dancing on the Water

I’m dancing on top of the water, a choppy top of a lake,
Life tries to push me under, but of what it gives I take
And I laugh out loud and I giggle, as I mock life’s intention,
Yet the thought of becoming tired, is too terrible to mention

But I am hot and I am tired, yet the water cools my feet,
I hope I am showed some mercy, and overcome my defeat
But I shall not quit my dancing, for then I will surely sink,
Yes I am condemned to dance, and I can forever, I think
