Through Hills for Water

In morning rise and rub my eyes, the work does have me cut
I must walk near 20 miles each way but all for what
I won't be walking on my own now that the schools been shut
For Water
For Water
For Water
For Water
I've got three children close behind, to bring us to our water

The sun rose high through hidden sky
My blood boiled through a fever
Our family drained of simple joys
My love I hate to leave her
Way up ahead, our destination
Keeps me a believer
The Water
The Water
The Water
The Water
Marching to a distance to our destination water

The bucket's weight upon my back
With 20 pounds a side
No easy way to bear the load
A pain shared with my pride
Don't let me spill a droplet
As I bring it to my bride
Oh Water
Oh Water
Oh Water
Oh Water
On we walk to head back home, don't let me drop the water

As night comes at our tiny hut
My body aches all over
I lie in bed next to my wife
Awake for hours further
When dawn breaks, I shall rise again
And try not to disturb her
For water
For water
For water
For water
Tomorrow I shall rise again to drudge through hills for water
For water
For water
For water
For water
Every day repeats the same to drudge through hills for water
For water
For water
For water
For water
Every day repeats the same to drudge through hills for water
