Just water

Water, oh water, how you flow

A symbol of life, a source of hope

You give us strength, you quench our thirst

Without you, we would surely burst

But water, oh water, you can be cruel

You take away what we hold dear

You flood our homes, you drown our dreams

You leave us with nothing but tears

Your waves crash down, your currents pull

You claim the lives of those we love

You leave us with a gaping hole

A pain that we can't rise above

Water, oh water, you are a force

A power that we can't control

You take away what we hold dear

And leave us with an empty soul

We see your beauty in the streams

In the rivers and the waterfalls

But we fear your wrath in the floods

And the destruction that you cause

Water, oh water, you are a mystery

A symbol of life, a source of fear

You give us hope, you take away

And leave us with nothing but tears

We pray for those who've lost their lives

To the depths of your endless sea

We pray for those who've lost their homes

To the floods that you bring with glee

Water, oh water, you are a paradox

A giver of life, a bringer of death

We can't survive without you

But we fear your every breath

We see your power in the ocean

In the waves that crash against the shore

But we fear your wrath in the storms

And the devastation that you pour

Water, oh water, you are a symbol

Of the beauty and the pain of life

You bring us joy, you bring us sorrow

And you cut us like a knife

We see your majesty in the rainbows

That you paint across the sky

But we fear your fury in the hurricanes

And the destruction that you supply

Water, oh water, you are a reminder

That life is fleeting and fragile too

You can take away what we hold dear

And leave us with nothing but you
