On the Water

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
