Subject: Lyr Add: SWIMMING TO THE OTHER SIDE (Pat Humphries
Here's a song of hers where the theme of one-ness seems evident:

Swimming to the Other Side
Lyrics by: Pat Humphries
Tune: original
Date: 1992

Chorus: (same melody as verse)
       We are living 'neath the great Big Dipper
       We are washed by the very same rain
       We are swimming in the stream together
       Some in power and some in pain
       We can worship this ground we walk on
       Cherishing the beings that we live beside
       Loving spirits will live forever
       We're all swimming to the other side.

I am alone, and I am searching, hungering for answers in my time
I am balanced at the brink of wisdom; I'm impatient to receive a sign
I move forward with my senses open, imperfection will be my crime
In humility I will listen, we're all swimming to the other side

On this journey through thoughts and feelings, finding intuition: my head, my heart
I am gathering the tools together; I'm preparing to do my part
All of those who have come before me, band together and be my guide
Loving lessons that I will follow, we're all swimming to the other side

When we get there we'll discover, all of the gifts we've been given to share
Have been with us since life's beginning and we never noticed they were there
We can balance at the brink of wisdom, never recognizing that we've arrived
Loving spirits will live together; we're all swimming to the other side^^^
