Kings and warriors have killed for it
Nations have fallen and triumphed over it
A man without a country forever sailed on it
Ahab sought the great white whale on an ocean of it
Nations have fallen and triumphed over it
A man without a country forever sailed on it
Ahab sought the great white whale on an ocean of it
We crawled out of the great sea
Only to seek again, over and over
That mysterious foaming, cold, steaming, bubbling substance
Bland with no color, no taste
Only to seek again, over and over
That mysterious foaming, cold, steaming, bubbling substance
Bland with no color, no taste
Yet, when weary, ill, confused,
Shocked, stricken, defeated
What do we ask for
Water!
Shocked, stricken, defeated
What do we ask for
Water!
It is said that death is the great equalizer
But in truth, it is only water.
But in truth, it is only water.
