All day I face a barren waste
Without the taste of water
Cool water [water](water)[water]
Old Dan and I, with throats burned dry
An' souls that cry for water (water)[water]
Cool [water]
Clear [water]
Water [water, water]

A-keep a-movin, Dan [water]
Don't you listen to him, Dan [water, water]
He's the devil not a man
And he spreads the burning sand with water [water]
Dan, can't you see that big green tree [water]
Where the water's runnin' free [water]
And it's waitin' there for me and you
Cool clear water [water, water]

Shadows sway and seem to say
Tonight we pray for water
Cool water [water](water)[water]
And way up there he'll hear our prayer
And show us where there's water (water)[water]
Cool [water]
Clear [water]
Water (water)[water, water](water)

A-keep a-movin, Dan [water]
Don't you listen to him, Dan [water, water]
He's the devil not a man
And he spreads the burning sand with water [water]
Dan, can't you see that big green tree [water]
Where the water's runnin' free [water]
And it's waitin' there for me and you
Cool clear water [water, water]

(Keep a-movin, Dan) [water]
(Don't you listen to him, Dan) [water, water]
(He's the devil not a man)
(And he spreads the burning sand with water) [water, water, water]
Cool clear water [water, water, water]
