Stroke By Stroke Original Cast of Jasper in Deadland

[JASPER]
Don’t you know the world is water?
You can’t just float on it
Can’t skim it
Afraid to swim it
No, you can’t just stay on land

Somehow, you gotta break that water
Kick and pull through it
You cross each length
With stride and strength
You pace the course
With even force
Your hand in front of hand

You go
Stroke by stroke by stroke by stroke by stroke
You go
Stroke by stroke by stroke by stroke by stroke

So meet me at the touch of water—
And take some laps with me
Some free, some test
With our back and breast
We’ll keep our style
Through the millionth mile
And when it’s more than we can stand
