World To Water



If I was a raindrop that helped grow a tree, went back into the clouds then down in the sea.

Joined the rolling thunder a title wave to be, hit the shore so hard i took lives with me.

I can be a light sprinkle or a heavy downfall, I can ruin your crops or drown them all.

I'm offered for free often taken for granted, I'm the most important thing, for your life would not happen.

If I needed you, your life would be over, I'd swallow you up and cover this boulder.
