“Look it’s moving. I think it’s alive!”
I want to talk to it, you think I should try?
"Why would you do that it could kill you!"
Well honestly , I don’t see why!
I’m gonna go for it , you stand here and be shy
"Yeah okay , I’ll be in the truck
We've got to get home before dawn. We’re in a rush"
Yeah, fine, whatever you say,
As soon as I’m done we’ll head back that way
Hey little guy
You're not from here are ya?
You don’t look like anything I’ve seen before
I don’t mean to pry
But you appear far from
Your place in stars or the endless shore
“Hurry up girl we're not trying to wait”
Sorry my sister keeps yelling from down the way
Hold on , 5 more minutes and we can go!
I want to tell it the best thing I know!
Anyway
Hey buddy, I know it’s late. We call this night,
But there’s so many things you can experience in the light
Like the suns warm rays, or petals, and birds.
Well, perhaps in the dark you’ll be less disturbed
There is one thing we all cherish here
There’s cities who cry that theirs isn’t so clear
There’s containers that hold it small and large
It has no flavor
It’s free at bars
Well you don’t know what bars are or even cars
But I’m sure you know what it feels like be parched
Being dry and needing to feel replenished
Feeling fresh and pure ….
"Girl hurry up !"
Almost done , let me finish!
Most people use it everyday
to clean their bodies
Or their minds on Sundays
There’s rivers , streams, oceans, and lakes
They dance in a current and often in waves
And there is this one particular place
That has the best of it. At least I’d say.
I can’t take you there today,
But you can go by bus, spaceship, or plane
It lives above a mitten
Right next to bunny
And I must admit it
Does sound kind of funny
But this place is the most superior of them all
I visited it when I was kid one fall
It’s probably superior cause it has the best taste
I hope I can visit again before it’s too late
Maybe you’ll visit before I return
I truly hope that is the case
Just remember me when you get to the water
Oh sorry, I didn’t tell you it’s name...
Water
“We’re leaving now,”
Shoot I’ve got to go
Please, do me a favor and see it before it gets too cold
It’s not so friendly as ice or snow
Well I hope I told you the best thing I know
See you at the water, friend
