[Verse 1]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
Take your hand and I go under
I'm under and above
(Take) Take your hand and I go under
I'm under and above

[Chorus]
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 falling in
Under water, I'm diving into the ocean
A thousand black water lilies
Black water lilies

[Verse 2]
Arms are reaching for my arms
I can see no more
We dance as we float around
We head towards the ocean floor
[Pre-Chorus]
Take your hand and I go under
I'm under and above
Take your hand and I go under
I'm under and above

[Chorus]
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 falling in
Under water, I'm diving into the ocean
A thousand black water lilies
(A thousand black water lilies)

[Outro]
I am warm
Floating down
I am reborn, oh
Water lilies
Water lilies
Water lilies
Water lilies
Hmm, ahh
Yeah
(Black water lilies)
