Lyrics

Oh, when I step into the light
My arms are open wide
When I step into the light
My eyes searching wildly
Would you not like to be
Sitting on top of the world with your legs hanging free?
Would you not like to be OK, OK, OK?
When I'm walkin' by the water
Splish-splash me and you takin' a bath, yeah
Oh, when I'm walkin' by the water
Come up through my toes to my ankles
To my head, to my soul, I'm blown away
When I'm walkin' by the water
Splish-splash me and you takin' a bath
Oh, when I'm walkin' by the water
Come up through my toes to my ankles
To my head, to my soul, I'm blown away
I can't believe that we would lie in our graves
Wondering if we had spent our living days well
I can't believe that we would lie in our graves
Dreaming of things that we might have been
Would you not like to be?
I can't believe that you would not like to be OK, OK, OK
OK, OK, OK
