All day I've faced the barren waste
Without the taste of water, cool water
Old Dan and I with throats burned dry
And souls that cry for water, cool, clear water

Keep on moving, Dan, don't you listen to him, Dan
He's a devil not a man
And he spreads the burning sand with water
Dan, can't you see that big green tree
Where the water's running free
And it's waiting there for me and you
Water, cool, clear water

The nights are cool and I'm a fool
Each star's a pool of water, cool water
But with the dawn I'll wake and yawn
And carry on to water, cool, clear, water

Keep on moving, Dan, don't you listen to him, Dan
He's a devil not a man
And he spreads the burning sand with water
Dan, can't you see that big green tree
Where the water's running free
And it's waiting there for me and you
Water, cool, clear water

Cool water

And way up there He'll hear our prayer
And show us where there's water, cool, clear, water

Keep on moving, Dan, don't you listen to him, Dan
He's a devil not a man
And he spreads the burning sand with water
Dan, can't you see that big green tree
Where the water's running free
And it's waiting there for me and you
Water, cool, clear water

Yeah, I need water
