Somewhere in our element of truth
the rushing wet reveals its presence
we are the water...nothing shall we fear.
Below the earth and beyond the sky
we gather together to plan our performance.
The clouds...ohhhh...they weep
as the Dead Sea washes our ancestors away...
I said we are the water...nothing shall we fear.
In mommies womb we float in warmth
and pull the cord of life
when the timing comes to face the sun
we rapidly swim through her tunnel.
Oh yes! I know we are the water
nothing shall we fear
