Protect the Water by Murray Kyle Lyrics
[Verse 1: Murray Kyle]
Everyday, everyone, drinks from the water, the sacred water
We drink from the rain, we drink from the river
We drink from the water, the sacred water
Every drop, is a bringer of life, drink from the water the sacred water
And here on this day, here on the Earth, we will protect the water, the sacred water
We will rise together, protect the water protect the water
Rise together, all around the world
All colours, all nations now is the time to stand
All people together, listen to the voice of the sacred land
Standing strong for the water, every woman and man
Hold each drop as precious, it’s been flowing pure before time began
[Chorus:]
Welo leyo, wele leya
Welo leyo, wele leya
[Verse 2: Amber Lily]
All around the world we see, the waters flowing
Giver of life for she, keeps us growing
Please, tend to the waters within
That’s where we, where we begin to
Care for the water, respect the water, flow like the water, for we are the water
Free up the water, love to the water, I am the water, you are the water
This is for our sons and daughters, May they drink from pure water
This is for our sons and daughters, May they drink from pure water
For our grandsons and grand-daughters, May they drink from pure water
For our grandsons and grand-daughters, May they drink from pure water
[Chorus:]
Welo leyo, wele leya
Welo leyo, wele leya
Everyday, everyone, drinks from the water, the sacred water

And here on this day, here on the Earth, we will protect the water, the sacred water
We will rise together, protect the water protect the water
Rise together, all around the world

Standing strong for the water, every woman and man
Hold each drop as precious, it’s been flowing pure before time began
