In songs

The waters for fighters
and stone cold survivors.
Swim back,
before its too late.

I understand
your grown, and
you have to learn how to
stand on your own.

Chorus.
_________
But do you have to jump
in head first?
You'll drown
babygirl.
Your still soft
let me teach you the ropes.

Take it one stroke
at a time.
__________

The waters rough
and you jumpin' first
doesn't make it calm.

I get that you
just wanna do it your
own way, hey

Chorus 1x

Take your time
take your time
you'll learn to survive baby girl.

Hey :) I like the flow of this song, it works pretty well. Also the theme is good- admittedly its verging on cliche but I think thats okay.There were some grammar problems which detracted from it a little: This part was a bit confusing

I understand
your grown, and
you have to learn how to
stand on your own.

I think its the "your grown" that's the trouble.. "You've grown" would make a bit more sense, or maybe you meant "you're grown".

Okay I know I said the theme wasn't cliche but there are little parts that are just a little. First of all
Stone cold survivors
my problem with this is more the fact that I don't understand it, why are survivors "stone cold"? However I liked you're opening line, "The water's for fighters". Also "babygirl" I have a huge dislike of using this word in songs, however maybe thats just me. And
Let me teach you the ropes
, I'm not sure about this line, is it supposed to have a nautical theme, as in ropes on a boat? I've heard the expression but I just think you can do better than to use already used expressions- make your own up! :)
Otherwise it was good, as you can see I'm a little confused about most parts and weather i think they need to be changed or not- this would ultimately depend on if it sounds good with the music.. Keep writing! :) -Rachel
