Water for All

[Intro] Across the dust and sunlit fields we stride [b]Verse 1[/b] In a village hard and dry, we share the load we bear Hands tired, hearts awake, we push on through the glare We toil for tomorrow, no one shirks the task we face Dreams of schools and brighter days rise in every case [Chorus] Is water a luxury? Is it a right? Is our citizenship questioned in this light? We seek no handout, no charity’s plea, But basic needs, for you and me [Verse 2] We build our homes with sweat and care, sow seeds of future gain Planting hope beyond compare, through sunshine and the rain We ask the state, we ask the land, for what is due, we understand To stand as one, a village proud, with steady hearts and hands [Chorus] Is water a luxury? Is it a right? Is our citizenship questioned in this light? We seek no handout, no charity’s plea, But basic needs, for you and me [Bridge] Our identity, our pride, our name and vow Should not be judged by thirst or fear somehow We are the people, strong and true, we claim our rights anew For every drop that sustains our dawn, we stand with you [Chorus] Is water a luxury? Is it a right? Is our citizenship questioned in this light? We seek no handout, no charity’s plea, But basic needs, for you and me [Outro] We stand as one, with head held high, our village clear and free Our voices call for dignity, for water, work, and equality
