I'm in the wild lands of Ireland,
An old ancient town.
Where our Grandfather's would have drunk fresh from the well.
I'm sitting here quietly by the river shore,
but I hear the clear song of sorrow coming from the river floor.
I talked to a local man who dropped me off here,
he said,
"You can't drink or swim in any water round here no more,
No you can't drink or swim in any water round here no more".
It looked from a distance like a paradise place,
To soak in precious summer sun, splash water on my face.
But now that I'm closer the sad river ghosts appear,
And all the dead confused fish with their chemical tears,
They say,
"Don't dare drink or swim in any water round here no more."
Well where do you come from,
And where would you flee?
If we kill all the sweet water and there's just dead salty sea?
And would we then fight for it, coz how would you survive,
At what point would we notice all the river's had died?
When you can't drink or swim in any water in this world no more?
I make a prayer and I sing for all the water in this world,
I will protect you,
May I somehow not forsake you.
I fell asleep at the wheel,
I got severed from truth
but I hope I'm waking up in time...
I hope I'm waking up in time.
Don't we know this yet?
Earth is our body, As water's our blood.
The virus of our greed is now reaching the edge.
If we're not so careful they'll be no wild places left.
Grandfather warns us of the red in the sky,
If we keep on consuming with our insane denial.
I don't mean to sound tragic,
I don't mean to bring you down,
But there are oceans of tears to be cried for the waste of this land.
Where do you come from, And where would you flee?
If we kill all the sweet water and there's just angry dead sea?
How would we ever grieve this, Oh I need to hear you cry,
At what point would you notice all the river's had died?
Who would tell our children, what on earth would we say,
"No you can't drink or swim in any water in this world no more?"
So I make a prayer and I stand for all the water in this world -
I will protect you,
May I somehow not forsake you.
I fell asleep at the wheel, I got severed from truth
but I pray we're waking up in time...
I pray we're waking up in time.
Don't we know this yet?
Earth is our body, As Water's our blood.
Don't we know this yet?
Earth is our body, as water's our blood.
And I know this now,
Earth is my body, as water's my blood.
