First written as a contribution to an awareness campaign about protecting our precious fresh water resources. They still need to be defended.

Lyrics

Can I get a drink of water
I’ve been working hard all day
I’d be ready with a thank ya
that’s as much as I could pay

You can’t get a drink of water
there is poison in the ground
fish are floating down the river
everybody standing round

It doesn’t help to hurt somebody just for your own gain
why don’t you help, help somebody back to health again

Can I get a drink of water
I’ve got such an awful thirst
pure and fresh and cool
it’s the best thing in this world

You can’t get a drink of water
cause the wells are running dry
there’s no more water in the county
they sold it on the other side

It doesn’t help to hurt your neighbour to satisfy some greed
why don’t you help, help somebody getting what they need

Won’t you have a drink of water
take some with you on the trail
take as much as you can carry
this water’s not for sale

It doesn’t hurt to help somebody
why don’t you help, help somebody
come on and help, help somebody
all you’ve got to do is help, help somebody

Help somebody
