I stop and think i stop and think
When I'm really really thirsty and i need something to drink
I stop and think i stop and think
Before i buy the plastic bottle from the shop in the fridge
I stop
And wonder where the water came from
And how many roads it travelled along
It's not quite right it feels so wrong
And that's the reason we sing this song
Twelve spoons of sugar in a can of soft drink i stop
Did you know there are places
When you swim in the river
Where you can drink while you swim drink while you swim drink while you swim
'Cause the water is crystal clear
You can just open your mouth and let it float right in
Swimming upstream feels like a dream
'Cause i'm doing breaststroke and i am drinking, the clean water, the sweet water
And I can taste the moss, taste the rocks, i can taste the reeds
I can taste the story of where this river's been
And now i'm back in the city
And I'm watching this water gurgling down the sink
And it makes me think
Don't you think we oughta think about the water...
