Water
All the water there will be,
Already is …
“The very same water
That is wetting your lips
May have flowed through the streets
Down in New Orleans
Or flowed down the cheeks
And spilled upon the piano keys
As the brilliant Tchaikovsky sat
And wrote his Pathétique.
“Did ja’ know that
Here on this rock
As we journey through time
We live by the grace of water”
With all the water on this planet, who ever thought we’d run out? They’re certainly not worried about running out in Houston.
And yet water is their biggest problem. For some it’s too much; for some, too little. For most, what there is, is unusable – too salty, too chemical, too dirty. And for me, well, I’m told I should drink more of it.
“The very same water in the apple you eat
May have fallen as rain
Half-way ’round the world
Or could have been used
A hundred million years ago
By a mighty mama brontosaur
To bathe her baby girl”
“Water”, a song from our concert, “Is Anybody Listening?” is sung by a trio of sterling singers, Freedom Bremner, Brian Collazo and Jonathan Singletary on our new CD just out.
If you’re listening, you’ll find it much worth the listen.
“Yes the very same water
That grows the cocoa bean
And brings the sweet taste of chocolate
To the hungry world
May be the mystery
That carries forth the seed of life
As it brings to pass the life and times
That spring from you and me”
Water – it’s the stuff of life.
“One part oxygen
And two parts hydrogen
Put ‘em both together an’ whadda you got
Clean
Clear and cool
Pure water”
“Water” – Music and Lyrics by Peter Link
