Water ... Cherish it, protect it, preserve it

I hope this song in some way moves us to do something more, to think less of ourselves, to think less of our conveniences, and less of what we think is "progress."         ...water  

LYRICS:
​
I went down to the water to quench my burning thirst
There I saw a swimming otter and a doe standing in alert.
like me the water drew them, like them I needed a taste
Of God’s sustaining water, His precious gift we cannot waste
 
There are hands like ruthless drills digging deep ‘til the land is spent
They want only God's riches, not caring what becomes extinct
 
Water led me down the mountain, singing to me as it ran,
Through the trees and golden grasses, we danced over rock and sand.
In a field, I lay in clover fed by God’s rain and shining sun
I gazed up at the gathering clouds and wondered why it’s not enough
 
There are hands like ruthless drills digging deep ‘til the land is spent
They want only God’s riches, not caring what becomes extinct
 
I went down to find the water to quench my burning thirst
But I found no swimming otter, no doe standing in alert.
There was no water to draw them, not a drop for me to taste
With the riches went the water, all that’s left is barren waste
 
There are hands like ruthless drills digging deep ‘til the land is spent
They took only God's riches, and left nothing ...
