going under
Sun is rising on the water Light is dancing again Let's go under where the sun beams Let's go under my friend Are we sleeping Are we dreaming Are we dancing again Is it heaven Crack it open and we'll slide down its stream We can hold on (I'm sure) To the sea's foaming mane It will serve us We'll surface and we'll plunge back again Sun is rising on the water Light is dancing like a flame There's no burning where the sun beams Oh it's such a lovely game Does the sea dream (I'm sure) We are here, we attend We are bells on the shore where the tolling suspends Who will decide the shape of things The shift of being Who will perceive When life is new Shall we divide and become another Who is due for gift upon gift Who will decide Shall we swim over and over The curve of a wing Its destination ever changing Sun is rising on the water Light is dancing like a flame Let's go waltzing on the water Let's go under again Let's go under.
