Running Dry

about

Thanks to the late Tim Westnutt.
He gave me a copy of the Jim Thebaut movie "Running Dry"
and urged me to write this song about it.

lyrics

Do you ever take time just to think of it
when you're thoughtlessly brushing your teeth
That not even that far away from here
people dying of thirst in the streets
Sure it is hard to imagine
Sometimes we're almost drowning 'round here
But soon Mother Earth won't see more of it
than the liquid in her childrens tears
than the liquid in her childrens tears
The time is coming
We're Running Dry
The danger is growing
Voices should rise
for the crisis has spread 'cross the globe
for the crisis has spread 'cross the globe
And to all of you of all life's seasons
Who're only here for the score
Let's not create another good reason
for sending our kids into war
for sending our kids into war
The time is coming
We're Running Dry
The danger is growing
Voices should rise
for the crisis has spread 'cross the globe
for the crisis has spread 'cross the globe
The time is coming
We're Running Dry
The danger is growing
Voices should rise
for the crisis has spread 'cross the globe
for the crisis has spread 'cross the globe
for the voices should spread 'cross the globe
for the voices should spread 'cross the globe
The time is coming
We're Running Dry
The danger is growing
Voices should rise
for the voices should spread 'cross the globe
for the voices should spread 'cross the globe
