Water Song Lyrics

Salty water
The ocean in my blood
Dirt on my face
Thickening to mud

The forest needs water
To grow and to thrive
In a world of drought
The strong will survive

I had to be torn limb from limb
Thrown to the ocean learned to swim
Slowly my fins grew into wings
Now up in the sky this bluebird sings

All my tears
Somehow become the rain
Black clouds filled with sorrow
Can make us whole again

I had to be torn limb from limb
Thrown to the ocean learned to swim
Slowly my fins grew into wings
Now up in the sky this bluebird sings

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
