I am the stranger in the shadows I am the sleeper at the wheel Am I the choice & the anonymous voice That says none of it's real I've heard the footsteps of the hungry I've heard the breathing of relief I heard the scream of a mother in a dream But that could have been me Water, oh water I walked out to the grieving ocean I lay down by the thirsty sea I found a man there dying without water He looked just like me I have come from the walls of worry I fled the wounded streets of war I walked a thousand miles in the wrong direction But what was it for? Water, oh water I am a of the guilty I am the water on the ground I am collectively the face of the lost Who long to be found We drink to love and to deception We drink to charity and greed We drink to numb the very thing we've become When its water we need Water oh water
