Lighter Here

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
