Water, liquid breath of life
Water, source of wealth and strife
Water, carving like a knife
Fill my head with hope and dread and fill my soul with life!
 
Rain, falling from the sky
Rain, manna from en high
Rain, tears the heavens cry
Sate my thirst and reign o’re me and quench the ground parched dry!
 
Water, flowing through the seas and oceans
Water, liquid poetry in motion
Water, snowing on the trees to freeze on
Hot or cold, throughout the world, throughout the changing seasons
 
Cascading down mountainous faces
Permeating fountains and vases
Elevating white towers of steam
Condensating in hours we dream
 
Water, living breath of life
Water, source of wealth and strife
Water, carving like a knife
Fills my head with hope and dread and fills my soul with life!
