Going Under - Patti Smith

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
