The swan glides on the silent lake
And preens her feathers white and pure
She does not care for give or take
She only knows her grace is sure
She likes to swim with dignity
And be the queen of all she sees
And preens her feathers white and pure
The swan removes the dirt and dust
She does not want to look unclean
She thinks it is a matter of trust
She wants to show her beauty’s gleam
She likes to swim with dignity
And be admired by all who see
She does not care for give or take
The swan is not a greedy bird
She does not hoard or steal or fake
She does not need a single word
She likes to swim with dignity
And be content with what she has
She only knows her grace is sure
The swan is confident and calm
She does not doubt or fear or fret
She does not need a charm or balm
She knows she is the best one yet
She likes to swim with dignity
And be the envy of the rest
She likes to swim with dignity
The swan is elegant and smooth
She does not splash or flail or flee
She moves with ease and skill and truth
She likes to swim with dignity
And be the master of her art
And be the queen of all she sees
The swan is proud and noble too
She does not bow or bend or please
She rules the water and the blue
She likes to swim with dignity
And be the star of every scene
