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 and I go under I'm under and above Take your hand and I go under I'm under and above On the river I'm floating in Underwater I'm diving into the ocean A thousand black water lilies Black water lilies Arms are reaching forward My arms, 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 Take your hand when I go under I'm under and above On the river I'm floating in Underwater I'm diving into the ocean A thousand black water lilies And the river I'm floating in Underwater I'm diving into the ocean On thousand black water lilies When I am warm, crawling out And I am reborn Water lilies
