Stroking up, back in the pool
Did his fly, took his marks go
Went the distance, now he’s back on his feet
Just a boy and his goal to butterfly

So many meets it can’t happen fast
He wants his passion for income
He never quits tho’ he failed in the past
He will swim which will keep them alive

It’s the eye of the swimmer
It’s the thrill of the fly
Stroking up to the challenge of an IM
And the most elite athlete wins first place in the fly
And he’ll get to the trials with the eye of the swimmer

Lane to lane, out in the heat
Staying fit, drinking water
They beat the time til’ they go to a meet
For the gold which keeps winning alive

It’s the eye of the swimmer
It’s the thrill of the fly
Stroking up to the challenge of an IM
And the most elite athlete wins first place in the fly
And he’ll get to the trials with the eye of the swimmer

Stroking up, up to the top
Has the guts and the glory
Goes the distance, and he’s not going to stop
Just a boy who will swim butterfly

It’s the eye of the swimmer
It’s the thrill of the fly
Stroking up to the challenge of an IM
And the most elite athlete wins first place in the fly
And he’ll get to the trials with the eye of the swimmer
The eye of the swimmer (5x)
