When I'm on a boat I float I know I can never drown I see underwater land The wind The wind is the only sound Take your hand when I go under I'm under and above T ake your hand and I go under I'm under and above On the river I'm floating in On the water I'm diving into the ocean A thousand black water lilies In the river I'm floating in On the water I'm diving into the ocean A thousand black water lilies Black water lilies Arms are reachingfor Myarms I can see no more We dance as we float around We head towards the ocean floor Take your hand when I go under I'm under and above T ake your hand when I go under I'm under and above On the river I'm floating in On the water I'm diving into the ocean A thousand black water lilies In the river I'm floating in On the water I'm diving into the ocean A thousand black water lilies Ah I am warm Floating down I am reborn , oh ho oh oh oh ho oh
