Water

words and music by: Russ Robertson & Amanda Williams


Water

Flowing water, carry me away

Drifting

On the tide I ride upon the waves


And I

Get tossed in the seas of life

Over and over

I rise to the surface

And breathe

On top of the

Water


Water

Silent water all around me

Weightless

Watching waves dance on the sun light's beam


And I'm

Caught in a moment of time

Holding my breath

And I'm waiting

For the storm to pass by

Under water


Water

Blessed water flowing through my veins

Searching

For the peace I found below the waves


And I

Learned my lesson before

I don't need to tell you

My story, I'll just come up

To sing

Earth Day is celebrated every year since 1970 on April 22.


Every day is Earth Day around here, and this year is particularly special because we’re releasing a song called “Water” to celebrate the occasion.


Water is one of the most important elements for Life.


Our bodies are mostly water, and of course The Earth provides us with her natural resource in the form of oceans, lakes, streams, rivers, ponds, and estuaries.


My dad told me that when he was growing up back in the 1950s, people would have laughed at a person suggesting that one day people would buy bottled drinking water.


Today the reality is that people everywhere are in need of fresh, clean drinking water.


In addition, so much enjoyment is related to water – whether it’s a lake, stream, pond, river or ocean, water is a vital source of life for our beautiful planet.


On top of the physical importance of water, there’s a symbolic side of water that goes even deeper.


In poetry, water is often a symbol of emotions. In the lyrics to this song, “Water,” you can find some reference to this kind of water – a celebration of water in all its sacred forms.


Written back in 2011 with one of my Nashville songwriting pals Russ Robertson, the song “Water” was recorded with my friends at 515 Studio in 2013 listed here in the credits:
