Lyrics
Keep Our Water Clean – Jennifer E. Brant
@All Rights Reserved Jennifer E. Brant
We were given instructions, given instructions, a long time ago,
to care for the people and the water.
We work so hard but can’t keep up to you.
Chemicals and garbage, chemicals and garbage, fill the water,
and sometimes we can’t breathe.
Remember your responsibility.
Chorus: Keep our water clean. Keep our water clean.
We’re only using it, generations in between.
Keep our water clean. Keep our water clean.
Water, water is a precious gift
And it sustains life on this earth
You need to change right now.
We can’t wait, we can’t wait anymore
Don’t you realize? Don’t you know?
You’ll drink this water too.
Chorus
We’re not the only ones that need the water.
All life depends on you.
Chorus
