Treading Water by Haltia/Lyrics by Oldrottenhead

[Redler]

Hi everyone!

I and James did the original a couple months ago and he wish that Päivi (Ella) would sing this.

Thanks for letting me dabble with this. Would be lovely to hear paivi sing this one.

So, Päivi recorded her vocal parts today. Here's the original: https://songcrafters.org/forum/index.php?topic=27459.0

Opening new doors
Unsure what the future holds
Is the grass greener over there
Or are you safe with what you know
Treading water
Barely afloat
Standing at the crossroads
Not sure where to go
Balancing the odds
Heads you win tails you lose
Treading water
Going with the flow
1.26
You can do anything
You can touch the stars
Have faith in yourself
And go with your heart
1.46
We're all behind you
Willing you on
1.56
What first seems unfamiliar
Will gradually be known
And you will find your way
On the path you have chosen
Treading water
Planning every move
You can do anything
You can touch the stars
Have faith in yourself
And go with your heart
We're all behind you
Willing you on
2.56
You can be someone
Anyone you want
As long as you are happy
Happy in your skin
We're all behind you
Willing you on
Yeah we're all behind you
Willing you on
