water
Kirk Juhas; moe. Lyrics

All day I've faced the barren waste
I've been wandering through a dry, lifeless landscape all day.

Without the taste of water, cool water
I'm thirsty and haven't had any water to drink.

Old Dan and I with throats burned dry
My companion, Old Dan, and I both have dry, sore throats from dehydration.

And souls that cry for water, cool, clear water
Our bodies and spirits are desperate for some refreshing, clear water.

Keep a-movin', Dan, don't you listen to him, Dan
I'm urging Old Dan to keep moving, despite any distractions or temptations to stop.

He's a devil not a man
We're facing harsh conditions that seem almost evil, like they're coming from a malevolent force.

And he spreads the burning sand with water
Despite the fact that there isn't really any water around, it seems like the very sand is burning us with its heat and dryness.

Dan can you see that big green tree
I'm spotting an oasis in the distance, represented by a large, green tree.

Where the water's runnin' free
There's a source of water at the oasis that's flowing freely and abundantly.

And it's waiting there for you and me
We just need to keep moving forward to reach the oasis and quench our thirst.

The nights are cool and I'm a fool
Despite the fact that the night brings some comfort in terms of cooler temperatures, I'm being foolish by not resting and instead continuing on our quest for water.

Each star's a pool of water, cool water
Even though there isn't any water to be found, it feels like the entire night sky is teasing us with glimpses of it in the form of shining stars.

But with the dawn I'll wake and yawn
In the morning, I'll be tired and sleepy.

And carry on to water, cool, clear, water
But despite that, I'll continue striving towards the promise of cool, clear water on the horizon.

The shadows sway and seem to say
The shadows cast by the night seem to be whispering or hinting at something important.

Tonight we pray for water, cool, water
We're so thirsty and desperate that we're praying for a miracle, something that seems impossible.

And way up there He'll hear our prayer
But despite the odds, we believe that a higher power might hear our plea for help.

And show us where there's water, cool, clear, water
We're hoping that our prayers will lead us to discover a source of refreshing, clear water.

Dan's feet are sore he's yearning for
Old Dan is tired and his feet hurt from all the walking we've been doing.

Just one thing more than water, cool, water
Despite his thirst, Old Dan yearns for something beyond mere physical relief, something deeper and more meaningful.

Like me I guess he'd like to rest
I think we both just want to stop and rest, to take a break from all this hardship and struggle.

Where there's no quest for water, cool, clear, water
We want to find a place where the search for water is over, where we can finally relax and truly quench our thirst with cool, clear water.
