WATER


Water is something that all of us need

it may not seem important

but it's true

If I was stranded on a deserted island

water is on my mind

If I was locked inside a prison cell

water is on my mind

If I was locked inside my car 

in phoenix with blazing heat

water is on my mind

 

Water is important

life is more vital

like trees sing

these harmonies

make my soul silent

the water that burns me

is that refreshing taste

after my lunges swell up

and I can barely breathe

I pick up a glass and chug

the water goes down like a river

I also drink a sip even at the end of my fate

 

Water is something I didn't create

but will continue to acknowledge

that we all need it

more than ever

like a young man making his way

through college

but never what it means

the water that reaches my lunges

will forever breathe free
