Who’ll fetch the water? 
will it be your great grand-daughter 
my darling 
who’ll fetch the water? 

What will be it’s course 
from the source how will it find us 
my darling 
what’ll be the course? 

and who will call the rain 
feel it fallin’ to our skin 
from a welling deep within 
who’ll call the rain? 

and who’ll strike the drum 
when our thundering heartbeat needs it 
when the feet gotta pray it down 
who’ll beat the ground? 

who will speak in truth 
and where will they walk it, show us 
how my darling 
who’ll sow the truth 

and where from will it bloom 
to the story as we shape it 
for each other, brother sister 
what we choose 

this breath we been given 
this life we are tending 
this garden we are seeding 
for the ones yet to come 

Oh who will fetch the water 
will it be your great grand-daughter 
my darling 
who’ll fetch the water? 

I’ll fetch the water 
And I will be the course 
and I will call the rain 
I will call the rain
