Come see the water flowing free, like herds of untamed horses
The streams and springs and falls so deep, more powerful than dams or man-made forces
Yet, harnessed, enslaved, made to drive the metal sails, so powerful and wild yet feeble and tame
A giant yet a midget, so lethal yet so gentle, like a field bearing white fleece as well as golden mane
Both gas and liquid, is vapor and ice, she changes with the seasons like a lady of the times
So flexible and graceful, she reflects the sun above
As strong as an army advancing forth, line upon line
Is found amongst every people, of every size and kind
So precious is this, a real treasure for he or she that find
Is found inside these people, a bringer of peace and also of strife
Is most of everything we see, is giver of all life.
