Put me like a lily on the water
Floating on my back to face the sun
Opening my mouth a little wider
Gobbling up photons one by one
Then when I have swallowed many colors
Who could tell the light apart from me?
If I were like a lily on the water
On the water
On the water
I would like to be

Put me in a kayak on the water
Hunting like a hungry eskimo
Steady with a spear, waiting for plunder
Lurking in the murky depths below
Maybe I will catch something for dinner
Maybe something will be catching me
If I were in a kayak on the water
On the water
On the water
I would like to be

Put me on my belly on the water
And it will kiss me like a water bug
Half of me above, half of me under
Where the air and water are in love
And the two would fly away together
If they were released from gravity
If I were on my belly on the water
On the water
On the water
I would like to be
