Cool clear water
[Verse 1]

All day I've faced the barren waste

Without the taste of water, cool water

Old Dan and I with throats burned dry

And souls that cry for water, cool, clear water
[Chorus]

Keep a-movin', Dan, don't you listen to him, Dan
G
He's a devil not a man

And he spreads the burning sand with water

Oh Dan can you see that big green tree

Where the water's runnin' free

And it's waiting there for me and you ooh

Water cool, clear water

The shadows sway and seem to say

Tonight we pray for water, cool, water

And way up there He'll hear our prayer

And show us where there's water, cool, clear, water
[Chorus 2]

Keep a-movin', Dan, don't you listen to him, Dan

Where the water's runnin' free

And it's waiting there for me and you ooh
