Keep it Safe
Chorus
Get back in your place, you snake!
Don’t you dare touch the water
How would you feel if you were us?
We’re good stewards of this place
And we want to keep it safe
Verse
Water keeps us alive when we drink it
Water – nourishes everything within it
If water is damaged, then how can you heal it?
Tears from our eyes can’t restore what we’ve cried
Chorus
Get back in your place, you snake!
Don’t you dare touch the water
How would you feel if you were us?
We’re good stewards of this place
And we want to keep it safe
