Red forest green
As you stand at the waterfall
And there's no in between
You go back or you trust the fall

And the man says that'll be forty-five
And the best of your mind's crying 'take the dive'

Open wide the flood gates
And let love take your soul
Open wide the flood gates
'Til there's so much you overflow

Out of the blue
And into uncertainty
And since you are a child
You just want some kind of security

But the desert will always be hot and dry
Until the cool water comes rushing by

Open wide the flood gates
And let love fill your soul
Open wide the flood gates
'Til there's so much you overflow
Open wide the flood gates
Sprinkle this soul around
Open wide the flood gates

You spent your life running away
You run but you're not far away

Open wide the flood gates
And let love take your soul
Open wide the flood gates
'Til there's so much you overflow
Open wide the flood gates
Sprinkle this soul around
Open wide the flood gates
Let this Love come down
Open wide the flood gates

Open wide the flood gates - And let love move your soul
Open wide the flood gates - 'Til there's so much you overflow
Open wide the flood gates - Let it wash away the past
Open wide the flood gates - Man, you'll feel you're home at last
Open wide the flood gates - Yeah, Yeah, Yeah
