Speak of Water Lyrics

The boy sat on the shoreline a shovel in his hand

With the simple aim of digging down as deep as he can

And the tide was coming closer threatening to wash his work away

And mother's in the garden hanging clothes on the line

And in her haste she didn't note the colour of the sky

And the clouds were coming closer threatening to wash her work away

Speak of Water and the water comes

Speak of Water and the water comes

The farmer watched the clouds growing anxious for the rain

To feed her thirsty crops and breathe some life into the grain

And the ground was quickly sodden threatening to wash her work away

And the sailor on the ship watched as the waves grew in height

And tossed his sorry vessel to the left and to the right

And the clouds were growing hungry threatening to wash the ship away

Speak of Water and the water comes

Speak of Water and the water comes

And I will hold my breath

Until the water's clear

Until there's nothing left

And I am still right here

I am still right here

The village kept a watch as the river burst its bank

And rushed towards the town they watched as it sank

And still the rivers coming threatening to wash the town away

And Noah watched in horror as the floods began to rise

The faces of the people he was forced to leave behind

Still the rain was coming threatening to wash the world away

Speak of Water and the water comes

Speak of Water and the water comes

Speak of Water and the water comes

Speak of Water and the water comes
