Researching perils of rip currents

CAUGHT UP IN A RIP TIDE

 I JUMPED INTO THE WATER... FEELIN` LIGHT AND FREE
THEN SOMETHING DARK AND HEAVY STARTED PULLING HARD ON ME
I TRIED TO DRAW ATTENTION...BUT NOBODY COULD SEE
NO LONGER TOUCHING BOTTOM...I WAS IN SO DEEP

I WAS CAUGHT UP IN A RIP TIDE...A DANGEROUS UNDERTOW
THE MORE I FOUGHT THE MORE I GOT FARTHER AWAY FROM SHORE
IT`S A SCARY SITUATION ...WHERE MANY DON`T SURVIVE
WHEN YOU`RE CAUGHT UP IN A RIP TIDE

THE SHORELINE NOW LOOKED DISTANT...I`D BEEN CARRIED OUT SO FAR
WITH NO ONE ELSE AROUND ME...AND THERE WAS NO LIFEGUARD
PANIC STARTED CREEPIN` IN...THE CONDITIONS WERE SO HARD
WITH EVERY STROKE I LABORED...LORD I WAS SO TIRED

CHORUS REPEAT

BRIDGE:
I STARTED FLOATING ON MY BACK SO I COULD CATCH MY BREATH
FREEING UP MY MIND TO THINK MORE CLEARLY WHILE AT REST
RECALLING PRIOR GUIDANCE TO SWIM PARALLEL TO THE BEACH
I DID UNTIL I FELT.. THAT SAFE WATER WAS IN REACH...

THAT`S HOW I GOT OUT OF THE RIP TIDE..AND AND MADE IT BACK TO SHORE
COLLAPSING IN THE SAND... FEELIN` THANKFUL EVERMORE
TAKE HEED WHEN YOU SEE RIP CURRENTS...ON A WARNING SIGN
SO YOU`RE NOT CAUGHT UP IN A RIP TIDE
DON`T GET CAUGHT UP IN A RIP TIDE
