[Verse 1]
The overcast, unyielding sky remains,
And parched earth covers the ground.
“Couldn’t we just water them?”
“True – they do need H2O.”
[Pre-Chorus 1]
You say it so easily,
But we’re talking about a massive amount of water.
[Chorus 1]
Nothing gets done if we stand idly by.
It’s important to think while taking action.
Even if we head in the wrong direction,
We should eventually arrive somewhere.
[Verse 2]
There’s no irrigation system for the field.
It’s too far for a hose to reach,
We have no choice but to carry it from the tap.
That’s all we can do right now.
[Pre-Chorus 2]
After making so many trips,
The water is heavy, and I’m exhausted.
[Chorus 2]
Nothing gets done if we stand idly by.
It’s important to think while taking action.
Even if we head in the wrong direction,
We should eventually arrive somewhere.
[Instrumental Solo]
[Verse 3]
“Farming is hard, heavy work.”
“Even after all this effort,”
“It dries up in the blink of an eye,”
“And the field is still so vast.”
[Pre-Chorus 3]
“Even looking at the long-range forecast,”
“There’s no rain in sight for a while”
[Chorus 3]
Nothing gets done if we stand idly by.
It’s important to think while taking action.
Even if we head in the wrong direction,
We should eventually arrive somewhere.
[Bridge]
“For now, brute force is the only idea I’ve got”
“Then let’s just keep hauling it. That’s all we can do.”
[Final Chorus]
Nothing gets done if we stand idly by.
It’s important to think while taking action.
Even if we head in the wrong direction,
We should eventually arrive somewhere.
[Outro]
