Helen Chadwick - By Water Lyrics

Life-giving water brings us joy
We climb the hill up to the lake
It's quiet and still no one around
We slip into the water
Swim in its silky embrace
Made anew we are now
Refreshed once more by water
Then I wake up to my good luck
Water brings life
Wake up to what we have that is so precious
But not everyone has water

Returning home, fingers are blue
I run inside, turn on the shower
And now the heat floods me
Warm through my skin, my bones
Made anew we are now
Refreshed once more by water
Then I wake up to my good luck
Water brings life
Wake up to what we have that is so precious
But not everyone has water

My hair's still wet
Kettle is on
A mug of tea now warms my hands
Outside the rain falls down
Feeding the soil the earth
Made anew we are now
Refreshed once more by water
Refreshed once more by water
Refreshed once more by water
By water
By water
By water
By water
By water
