you look beautiful, beautiful here from where i stand
but i'll never get to you with my feet stuck in the sand
i had to move mountains just to get to where i am
i've come too far to quit so i gotta take the chance
i think it's time to test the water (ay ay)
gotta find the strength within
test the water (ay ay ay)
sink or swim, diving in
i've been gone (gone), for too long (long)
now it's time, time to move on
so i gotta test the water,
said i gotta test the water
when i look at the past feels like my feet are made of soap
but the look in your eyes make me feel like i can float
i know what i gotta do, only one place left to go
gotta swim straight to you, take a deep breath now here i go
i think it's time to test the water (ay ay)
gotta find the strength within
test the water (ay ay ay)
sink or swim, diving in
cos i've been gone (gone), for too long (long)
now it's time, time to move on
so i gotta test the water,
said i gotta test the water
can't stop no i'm going under now
is it time i ain't getting no younger
i know the water's cold but i gotta go
i think it's time to test the water (ay ay)
gotta find the strength within
test the water (ay ay ay)
take a swim, diving in
i've been gone (gone), for too long (long)
now it's time, time to move on
so i gotta test the water,
said i gotta test the water
