I know of this deep dark pool
I swim there often
I know it’s deep
But I have no idea how deep it really is
Sometimes I dive below the surface
Not knowing how far it will take me
But I always find enough air to surface again
It can take my breath away
But then my lungs fill with air once more
And I live to swim another day
