The earthy calling
its spirit crying
too many dying
when they should live
Water here,
on this blue planet
crying out for justice
all over the earth
Called from our complacency
our complicity by omission
to stand for righteousness
to stand in the breach
Love should rain down
washing over us
crying out for water
for all those who thirst.
