lyrics

Whole Lotta Water

There’s just so much water in the river
Not so much as there was last year
It’s running slow, there’s not much flow
Summer wind is hot and the water is low
Need a whole lotta water to make it all grow

There’s just so many fish in the sea
Plenty enough in there for you and me
If I take one and you take three
Won’t be enough for any other family
Whole lotta fish and many people to feed

There’s just so many trees up on the hillside
And too many boulders in a mudslide
Truckloads of timber and rolls of paper,
Spreading the news out far and wide
Takes a whole lotta timber to stop a landslide

There’s just so much oil in the pipe
You can drive it to the end of the earth if you like
Sink another hole, down to the core
One barrel closer to the very last drop
Gotta whole lotta oil and no remedy

When they burn the very last liter of diesel
Tanks are lyin’ empty, still in their tracks
Soldiers walking cross the silent sands
Nothing to burn and no plan of attack
That’ll be the day when the war machine stops

There’s a whole lotta kids born in the world you see
Young fresh minds, new ideas
When the right way isn’t easily
Need a teacher to teach them what they can change
There’s a whole lotta kids with a lot to learn

There’s a whole lotta life lived in a minute
Just so many minutes in a day
Time picks up the seconds and puts them away
And never brings them back the same again
There’s a whole lotta heart beats in a minute

There’s just so much water in the river
Not so much as there was last year
Now it’s running slow, there’s not much flow
Summer wind is hot and the water is low
Need a whole lotta water to make it all grow
Whole lotta water...
