The Course - Ayla Nereo

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
