I Need Water

I Need Water  (Murray)

love, would you take my hand
lead me to your promised land
rescue this lonely man
lost on the desert sand
bring forth a gentle rain
to sprinkle down drops on me
drown me in your deepest well
throw me to your raging sea

I need water – I need water, I need love
I need water – I need water, I need love
bring it to me dawta – I need water, I need love
I need water – I need water, I need love

high as the tallest tree
and as far as the eye can see
sprung from the seed of life
to on and forever seek
dry as a river bed
where the river has turned to steam
I-man no made of stone
but me living by bread alone
I need water

so look after last things first
or a blessing can turn a curse
if this life we live
only to quench a thirst
trickle up from the root
to sweeten and swell the fruit
as long as the river flow
every likkle thing must grow
I need water
