Water is Life


 

Dip into the creek 

Water pours over me 

You get cold from the glacier stream 

I get warm from the volcanic spring 

Water run over me 

Water runs into you 

You get stuck I get freed 

You and me just can’t be 

Water drips off of me 

You drink water 

I don’t drink 

You get drunk and forget 

I get drunk and you get upset

Water is life unless you can’t drink it 

Some can’t drink it so are they not life

Water is what is right
