    Story Behind the Song
    a friend of mine asked me to write a song about water for her educational project. she never used it, but i have enjoyed playing with it ever since. this is the fourth time i have recorded it

    Lyrics
    We are water mostly water
    All the water in us is alive
    Every hour every moment
    Water always passing through us
    Without water we could not survive

    See the water in the river
    Water in the river is alive
    From the spring down to the ocean
    Up the sky down in the ground
    All the water on the planet is alive

    Trees are growing by the river
    Joined together by the water
    We need trees and river to survive
    Before we were there was river
    Who are we to tell the river it must die?

    Factories make pretty bangles
    Make us think we need them to survive
    Waste from factories poisons river
    Poisoned water then becomes us
    As poisoned water how can we survive?

    We are water mostly water
    All the water in us is alive
    Every hour every moment
    Water always passing through us
    As poisoned water how can we surive?
