Precious Water by Trevor Justice - Inspired by the Standing Rock Indian Reservation

Описание: This inspiring song by Trevor Justice reminds us that water is the lifeblood of our people and planet. It may even rouse you to speak out against oil pipelines - and speak up for clean water.

As the lyrics say, "We can't drink crude oil. We don't want it on our shores. What our families need most is keeping you pure, precious water."

Trevor wrote "Precious Water" to thank, honor, and protect water... the lifeblood of our planet. He was inspired by the Standing Rock Indian Reservation. That's where water protectors have been fighting for 17 million Americans - who depend on the Missouri River for clean water.

LYRICS

You nourish orchards and farms so there’s food enough to share
Make the rain forest thrive so it purifies the air
Precious water, precious water

You brew herbs when we’re sick, end droughts with your rain
When a fire runs wild, you save our families from the flames
Precious water, precious water

It’s our turn to save you for generations to come
No polluters will poison our mother’s lifeblood

Police will not contain us when rebels far and wide
Come pouring over the edges like your rising tide
Your rising tide

You shelter sea life that nourish our bodies and brains
Protect babies in the womb, send life through our veins
Precious water, precious water

It’s not oil we need most; we don’t want it on our shores
What our families need most is keeping you pure
Precious water, precious water
