Even when the rain tarry
and the clouds scarce of tears
no evidence of hydrogen and oxygen
anywhere in this lower heaven
for a surety and by design
water has sworn allegiance to me
i gave it space and grace
gave it voice and face
gave it mystery and majesty
this is my story
this is my song
like the atmosphere would say
'i am oxygen everywhere'
and i the sea would say
'i am water everywhere'.
