Water
Is it not our most valuable resource?
Every drop vital
to the life we love so much.
Yet,
we seem to have forgotten
our natural promise to the Earth,
To not take for granted,
but to appreciate
and preserve.

Water water,
Taking showers,
Watering flowers,
Brushing teeth,
Cleaning dishes,
Happy fishes,
Water Water
Water

So be aware,
of the life you let drip down the drain.
Shorter showers,
closing taps,
shutting caps,
low pressure nozzles,
hand washing dishes.
All together now!
Water water
water.

So,
now,
We shall promise once again,
to combine our hands,
to preserve and protect,
the gift the Earth has given us.
Water is unique,
as are the things growing and living because of it.
So don't waste, take haste,
and truly feel and taste
our
       aqua
            eau

water water
water.

Together,
we hold the power.
So, please,
save our
water.
