[Verse 1]

People say it's not cool to be sweet like you

They wanna wreck it in the moment, keep you cynical

Well, that's not me, sister, that's not my style

With you, I'm walking to the water and I take a dive



[Pre-Chorus]

And I'm high there, walking with you again

Tell me how it was in the beginning of our land

We're like the Dreamtime, shedding our skin again



[Chorus]

I open up my eyes underwater

I just open up my eyes underwater (Ooh)

I open up my eyes underwater

I just open up my eyes under, uh, under the water



[Verse 2]

And I'm looking at you, you just think too much

You gotta get out of your head, baby, get back in touch

Well, there's a secret in the river and the river is deep

I know if I dream the future, it will dream back at me



[Pre-Chorus]

And I'm high there, walking with you again

Tell me how it was in the beginning of our land

We're like the Dreamtime, shedding our skin again



[Chorus]

I open up my eyes underwater

I just open up my eyes underwater (Ooh)

I open up my eyes underwater

I just open up my eyes under, uh, under the water



[Refrain]

Yanada yanada yanada-marri yanada

Gumada, gumada, nula burra-wa

Yanada yanada yanada, walama yanama-la

Gumada, gumada wa nura (Ngurra-wa)

Yanada yanada yanada-marri yanada

Gumada, gumada, nula burra-wa

Yanada yanada yanada, walama yanama-la

Wa nura wa nura (Ngurra-wa)



[Bridge]

And you got nothing to prove standing up on your feet

Even though people like to see you living down on your knees

To the big sister, little sister, take me into your arms

Well, there's a secret in the river and the river is deep

You don't need to fear the future if you see what I see



[Pre-Chorus]

And I'm high there, walking with you again

Tell me how it was in the beginning of our land

We're like the Dreamtime, shedding our skin again



[Chorus]

I open up my eyes underwater

I just open up my eyes underwater (Ooh)

I open up my eyes underwater

I just open up my eyes under, uh, under the water



[Break]

Hold yourself in it, brace yourself with it

Oh, hold yourself in it, brace yourself with it

Hold yourself in it, brace yourself with it

Sweet water, get in it and brace yourself with it, singing



[Refrain]

Yanada yanada yanada-marri yanada

Gumada, gumada, nula burra-wa

Yanada yanada yanada, walama yanama-la

Gumada, gumada wa nura (Ngurra-wa)

Yanada yanada yanada-marri yanada

Gumada, gumada, nula burra-wa

Yanada yanada yanada, walama yanama-la

Wa nura wa nura (Ngurra-wa)

Yanada yanada yanada-marri yanada

Gumada, gumada, nula burra-wa (Sweet water)

Yanada yanada yanada, walama yanama-la

Gumada, gumada wa nura (Ngurra-wa)

Yanada yanada yanada-marri yanada

Gumada, gumada, nula burra-wa

Yanada yanada yanada, walama yanama-la

(Sweet water, get in it, brace yourself with it, singing)

Wa nura wa nura (Ngurra-wa)
