Pour Some Water
Emeterians Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Pour some water into the well...

Just like a man needs water to survive
A well needs water to supply
Just like a seed needs nurturing and care
Man should recollect the fruit and share

Pour some water into the well...

And if you're African, pour some water
And if you're American, pour some water
And if you come from Europea, pour some water
And if you're coming from Asia...

Like a well needs water to supply
Man shall not let it dry
Man need water to survive
Just like a seed needs nurturing and care
Man should recollect fruit and share
World is living in abundance
But food wont feed us all...

Pour some water...

Like a child needs caring, love and trust
Fi di plant some water, is a must
Just like man finds obstacles and burdens to bear
A child has problems and troubles to share

Pour some water...





And if you're ... pour some water ...
