DROUGHT SONG

When the forest’s gone, then the water goes

The willows die when the creek don’t flow

Thunder rolls, but the rain don’t fall

The country’s quiet, no birds call

Chor:

It’s gonna get dry, dry, dry, dry

It’s gonna get dry, dry, dry, dry

Flowers bloom, but the bees don’t buzz

Why is this so? Because, because

This world’s been bent to the ways of men

Something’s gonna give, it ain’t if but when

Chor.

I can’t tell you just what’s gonna be

But it’s gonna get tougher, just wait and see

Or better yet, don’t wait at all

Start listening for your inner call

Don’t be afraid to ask for help

And when you can, help out yourself

Chor.

Maybe this earth will be green again

Maybe we’ll learn to live as friends

Maybe we’ll just hit the wall

I think it’s way too close to call

Whatever happens, let it feed your soul

Work on your part, remember the whole

Chor 2x
