People be happy as hell When there's water in the well Taking for granted the importance of the water Drinking very little, spilling and wasting it by the quaters Never stopping at least once to think that one day All the water could be gone Leaving the well dusty and dry as a bone So they continue to go about their destructive ways Not noticing the water is drying up phase by phase Never even bothering to go to the well to take a look down Never believing the sight would make one frown Then all of a sudden, one day, you're so thirsty You just need a few sips You want the water so bad, you can taste it on your lips So you make your way over to the well And wonder where the water is Cause the well is dry as all hell Never bothered, until it was too late to ask why Or when in the hell did the well run dry You didn't have your priorities in order You whould have been cherishing the importance of the water My, how people miss the water when the well run dry!!!
Reason for writing:
Water represent anything in our life that's important - relationships, family, friends, your job, your money, everything - cherish it and don't take it for granted. Keep your priorities in order. Just think if we didn't have water....
