lyrics

We Are Water

What if we were the water the trees are drinking up
Would they find us sweet? Would they take another sip from our cup?
From our cup, from my hands, our desire for the land
We are water, we are water

Stone, bark, and sky—we live life, dream, and then we die
But what if we are the storms, quenching dry land as soon as we are born
We are sky, wet like stone, we are storms of corazon
We are water, we are water

I will grow up to be big and tall you will see
Strength in me like a tree drinking from clearer streams
Oh so deep we’ll grow to be you and me living free
In the water

And what if we are the blood in a body young and strong
Will we stand up straight? Do the right thing again and again?
In our hearts and our minds, through the passage of time
We are blood, we are blood

Like the wings of a bird, fly our powerful words
We are blood, we are blood
