about

This is a whimsical and upbeat celebration of water on Planet Earth, sung by the molecules themselves! Special thanks to Enrique Toussaint who contributed the bass part to this mix.

lyrics

WATER (standard tuning)

We are molecules—two Hs and one O
And in most places we are ice and we are cold
But sometimes in the universe
When we find a place like earth
Where the sun is shining and the lovely breezes blow

CHORUS:
We are water
Rising up to the highest cloud
Falling free in the rain come down
Flowing over and underground
We are water
Drops in the river and the wide ocean
Running in all directions then
Coming together again

We are mist and we are waves upon the sand
We’re the ancient, holy place where life began
We are tea and morning showers
Home to sea horses and flounders
Cleaning shirts and quenching thirst and
Floating motor boats

CHORUS:

We are mirrors to the sky
We shine of all the stars at night
The sun and moon and clouds as they go by

If you find the time then here’s what you should do
Take your heart down to the shore and be renewed
Climb into your sloop and ride us
Leap into us, stand beside us
We will turn your planet world the brightest shade of blue

CHORUS:
