(Dave Cop)
Verse 1
Water…….bring me water
She’s crying out from thirst
The situations worsening
By the hour
Verse 2
Daughter……please forgive me
The river has run dry
I’ll move in close and cry so you can
Drink my tears
Chorus
As I slip into my sleep
Dreaming fields of golden wheat
Cool water in the well
Sitting by the firelight
See the laughter in the eyes
Of every boy and girl
Verse 3
Brother……. how I miss you
We grew side by side
Worked our land with pride I had to
Dig your grave
Solo
Chorus
When I wake up there’s no wheat
There’s not a thing to eat
And no water in the well
There is no fire tonight
Only sadness in the eyes
For every boy and girl
Verse 4
Mother..….. if you’re listening
You raised me to be strong
But I can’t carry on
If this is all there is
Verse 5
Father……can you hear me?
I’m down on my knees
I’m begging you please
Can you bring the rain?
Water, bring me water
Water, cool water
We’re crying tears of blood
Drowning in the flood
Bring me water
