(bis)
Water falls around us and it flows where it likes
We like the current going forward and give into the fight
We cast our net and come to settle, now the ocean's inside
Sit back and flow down through this air that we're breathing
While they grow up day dreams into the heat of the sun
We're reaching taller by the hillside where the water is sprung
We take the path of least resistance on the life we begun
Lie down in the sun and get something for nothing
Em G
First light ...
