Who'll fetch the water? Will it be your great grand-daughter My darling Who'll fetch the water? What will be it's course From the source how will it find us My darling What'll be the course? And who will call the rain Feel it fallin' to our skin From a welling deep within Who'll call the rain? And who'll strike the drum When our thundering heartbeat needs it When the feet gotta pray it down Who'll beat the ground? Who will speak in truth And where will they walk it, show us
How my darling Who'll sow the truth And where from will it bloom To the story as we shape it For each other, brother sister What we choose This breath we been given This life we are tending This garden we are seeding For the ones yet to come Oh who will fetch the water Will it be your great grand-daughter My darling Who'll fetch the water? I'll fetch the water And I will be the course And I will call the rain I will call the rain
