Rolling Off The Deep End
(Aiki Summer Retreat Song)
Lyrics by Katy Porray
There’s a fire starting in my arm
I feel it in my fingertips,
It’s shooting toward my heart
Finally I can see you crystal clear
I’ll blame it on the altitude,
But I feel so dizzy here
See how I fall with every move you make
I’ve taken all the ukemi I can take
There’s a fire deep within my soul
It’s not easy to explain why I love Aikido
Your kote gaeshi is breaking my wrist
I can’t help hoping that it’s almost dinner time
Iriminage leaves me breathless
I can’t help thinking
I could have gone to Tahoe
And be lying on the beach
Instead I’m standing here on the mat
Doing step turns to the beat
Maybe I have no stories to be told
I didn’t train with O-Sensei,
Terry Dobson I don’t know
Think of me when you work with someone new
Don’t overwhelm someone who is just 6th kyu
Relax your shoulders
Move from your center
Extend in all directions
And don’t forget to breathe
Connect with your partner
But don’t look at your partner
I can’t help thinking
I could have gone to Truckee
Be rafting down the river
Instead I’m back here on the mat
Double step turns to the beat
I could have gone to Reno
Lose my money playing poker
Instead I’m still here on the mat
Doing step turns endlessly
Throw your ki through every open door
Count the atemi to find what you look for
Turn your hips into that throw
You’ll be nage next
Uke’s on a roll!
I want to learn it all
No idea what that technique is
But I want to, I want to, I want to
I want to learn it all
Be an Aikidoka
Spend hours folding my hakama
Doing step turns in my sleep
I want to learn it all
Even suwariwaza
Stand on the floating bridge of heaven
Doing ikkyo and nikkyo and sankyo and yonkyo in my sleep
