WATER SONG
Lyrics by Mekila

I walk the high cliffs with my empty cup
I know just the place to fill it up
Presently when dawn arrives,
I will rain down on the river that is me

And I will drink deeply of my fall
And I will carry me down the mountain, down the mountain

I am an elephant with a full trunk
I know good reason to be joyful,
there is a lake
in the dead of the desert,
I take my friends there
And we live on, we live on

While the good rain thunders down
The babies swim for hours

This is just a water song, this is just a water song
