The meaning of swimming

I've never written a swimming song, I might have to now, I've found thousands of song ideas, written hundreds of lyrics, have over 100 demos and rough recordings, but no swimming songs, which is weird because swimming is something I love so much. Songs begin with titles or concepts that sums up a situation swimmers have experienced and can relate to so if anyone has a song idea or a few send 'em to me maybe I'll write one or we can cowrite one or a few well actually, a few years ago I wrote a swimming related song called It's My Time to Shine it describes what we do and feel when that moment we dream of and train years for finally arrives (i wrote the lyrics to the piano track melody in the "chariots of fire" instrumental by Vangellis, the piano part begins 41 seconds into the song (I usually write lyrics with no melody in mind and it's a struggle for me to write to an existing melody, but I love this piece so much that I did, "chariots of fire" gives me goosebumps when I listen to it.) then I showed the lyrics to a cowriter and he wrote a different melody, my only instruction to him was I wanted it to be an inspiring anthem type of song here's part of the lyrics I can remember: "It's My Time to Shine" by Ande Rasmussen verse 1 my muscles are straining blood floods through my veins I refuse to hear the cry of the pain desire is burning inside of me and I am chasing my own destiny chorus: it's my time to shine and show the world who I really am it's my time to shine and show myself that I truly can my moment is here it's all on the line and though I feel fear it's my time to shine there's a second verse I don't recall it right now I probably need to rewrite it I have a demo of it somewhere, i'll put it up on the web ande An ode for my friends Both new and old And the countless fun That seems to unfold In our cyber playground We play all day long Perhaps Ande and Sonic Should write a theme song Even 'mongst our squibbles We get along happily I just love our big Twisted USMS family!!!
