"Water" - January 2011 (re-mixed for World Water Day 2011)
Verse 1.
Water,
You often feel nice,
But sometimes you're ice;
But ice cools us down,
And we're glad you're around,
Please stay for a while;
And you're often a gas,
But I never question,
What state you're in;
'Cause you've been around,
Much longer than me,
And the places you've been,
You've swam through the oceans;
With mermaids and submarines.
Chorus.
And you're often outside,
But more often than not,
You are inside with us,
You're the cradle for us,
That's why all the fuss;
And H20,
Where do you go,
When it's too hard to flow?
When it's 40 below,
You go home;
To mermaids and submarines,
And the things in-between.
Verse 2.
Water,
You treated us nice,
But these plastics ain't right;
A tsunami of sounds,
And a visual landscape,
Of things that were found;
Like cigarette lighters,
And bottles galore,
Nature's not your whore;
And we navigate the globe,
With a satellite link,
And you don't read a map,
And you can't even think - for yourself;
So many of you,
Don't - give - a fuck,
But your time is up;
And water,
You often feel nice,
And sometimes you're life;
Chorus.
And you're often outside,
But more often than not,
You are inside with us,
You're the cradle for us,
That's why all the fuss;
And H20,
Where do you go,
When it's too hard to flow?
When it's 40 below,
You go home;
To mermaids and submarines,
And the things in-between.
Every dollar you spend will go to the Japanese Red Cross Society and UNICEF for Children Japan fund to support efforts to rebuild Japan for now and into the future. JeffaCubed
