Just open your heart,
Just open your mind,
And let your love flow
Like the sunshine,
Cos [bad word] deep,
And valleys go dry,
Like "Black Water" (X2)
oh oh oh oh

Close the door,
to temptation,
open wide,
the gate of love,
don't let them tell you,
war is the answer,
search deep inside...
for peace of mind...

They only want you to see
what they want you to,
but you'll be sad and blue,
so chase those blues away,

Just open your heart,
Just open your mind,
And let your love flow
Like the sunshine,
Cos [bad word] deep,
And valleys go dry,
Like "Black Water" (X2)

oh oh oh oh

Reminisce,
about the good times,
don't let bitter...ness
eat away,
don't let resentment,
hold back your future,
have faith in yourself,
you'll find away...

They only want you to see
what they want you to,
but you'll be sad and blue,
so chase those blues away,

Just open your heart,
Just open your mind,
And let your love flow
Like the sunshine,
Cos [bad word] deep,
And valleys go dry,
Like "Black Water" (X3)
oh oh oh oh
Just open your heart,
Just open your mind,
And let your love flow
Like the sunshine,

Deep in the valley
When the [bad word] dry...
Leaves one man thirsty
Leaves another to die,
Hold onto your vision
To help your friend...
Don't you listen to those echoes
do what you can...
cos you know, you know...

They only want you to see
what they want you to,
but you'll be sad and blue,
so chase those blues away,

Just open your heart,
Just open your mind,
And let your love flow
Like the sunshine,
Cos [bad word] deep,
And valleys go dry,
Like "Black Water"
oh oh oh oh...
