A hopeful acoustic-pop song about being in the warm water - where the water takes your weight, tells your body where it is, and the hard thing becomes possible.

Aderet Therapy Weekly is a weekly paediatric physiotherapy podcast for parents of babies and young children, made by Aderet Therapy in Campbelltown, in the Macarthur region of NSW. Each episode mixes short talk segments with original songs written for the week's topic. This is the song from episode 4, “Doesn't warm water reduce tone? So why use it for low tone?”.

## Lyrics

**Verse**

One step down the ladder and the warm takes hold  
Steam on the ceiling and we're out of the cold  
What was too heavy on the hard kitchen floor  
Is light as a laugh when you're in here once more  


**Chorus**

Lighter here, lighter here  
You can feel where your arms and your legs are, love  
Push off the bottom and hold on to me  
Lighter here, and look what you can be  


**Verse**

The water is holding you all the way round  
Telling your body just where it can be found  
So you try the hard thing and you try it again  
Nobody counting, no scoreboard, no when  


**Chorus**

Lighter here, lighter here  
You can feel where your arms and your legs are, love  
Push off the bottom and hold on to me  
Lighter here, and look what you can be  


**Bridge**

And you'll sleep like a stone when we're home tonight  
A drink and a snack, and you've earned every bite  


**Outro**

Lighter here  
Just for a while
