We are bodies of water - we’re blood, sweat, and tears,
We swim in life’s ocean, and drift through our years.
We are ruled by the moon, riding tides that ebb and flow,
We learn to tread water, or drown in the undertow…
It’s a body of water - it’s oceans and lakes,
It’s rivers of plenty from ice and snowflakes.
It’s our history’s gift to the future that we owe,
The endless water cycle on Planet H2O…
The web of life is fed… by clouds that rain on local watersheds…
Draining down to the sea… Evaporating, circulating, free…
We are bodies of water - we’re all in this boat,
We must find our balance, or we’ll sink, not float.
We are crashing like waves, facing rain that cold winds blow,
But we’ll find safe harbour if we sit down and row…
