From the recordings Gypsy Wagon Man and Count. Me. In.

This song from 2007 is added here because it came right after I saw Al Gore’s film, An Inconvenient Truth. What spirit brought it to me, I cannot say.

Lyrics

Walk For Water

Bm A
Time to walk for water, like everyday, everyday.
Time to walk for water, like everyday, everyday.
G Bm A Bm
There’s no time to stop and talk or watch the children play.
G Bm A
There’s no time to sit in the shade.
Vamp
Bm-A-G/ Bm-A-G
Oh, oh, oh/ Oh, oh, oh

Time to pray for rain, like everyday, everyday.
Time to pray for rain, like everyday, everyday.
Stagnant water fills with bugs and things we cannot see.
So many die of fever now. We sit there helplessly.
Vamp
Bm-A-G/ Bm-A-G
Oh, oh, oh/ Oh, oh, oh

I dream of silver faucets, every night, every night.
I dream of silver faucets, every night, every night.
I hear stories of those who only have to turn a knob.
For water that is fit to drink, hot or cold and all they want.
Vamp

Verse One
