This is a dance as well as a song. Standing in a circle, children can experiment with movements and gestures that fit the images in the song.
Many dance traditions have gestures that indicate water, lakes, waterfalls, rain and other images from this song. Students, teachers, or parents in your school community may be able to show you some of those gestures to help you compose your dance.
From the clouds, to the snow,
To the mountain down below.
Melting rain, waterfall,
To the lake that holds it all.
Chorus:
It's a cycle, it's a circle, it's a dancer watch her spin,
And the water coming to us, it goes round and round again.
Aqueduct from the lake
Brings the water that we take
From the pipes underground
To the faucet where it's found.
Chorus
Wash your hands, wash your clothes,
But remember where it goes:
To the ground from the drain,
Back into the clouds again.
Chorus
Every leaf, every child,
Every creature in the wild,
Everyone, everywhere,
Needs the water that we share.
Chorus
